Any experience with them?

K like in KZ or KD ? They are pretty good, the KZs tend to be on the thirsty side when you're using the power though. Some have/ had cracking heads issues too, gotta be careful with the cooling. I especially like the fact that they work well at both relatively low and high RPMs.

Dieseldog and lowenbrau are two of the frequent posters here that have/had KZJ7x's.

Naw, mine turned out to be a 2LT.

I have, however seen and wheeled with a KZJ70 a couple times and it seems to be a way cool motor for a reasonable sized rig. It would be sweet in a doublecab hilux on 35s. I'm looking forward to the light duty 70 series coming here with that motor. I'm sure its a great improvement over the 2LT.
