@greenbeast I have a 14B….took me a bit of frustrating failures to learn how to search for stuff. Like you, the MUD guys have been extremely helpful in pointing me in the right directions. Funny though…some of the parts I might hoard, I found in Australia. The parts are $15.00 and the shipping is $65.00. Fortunatel, I have a good friend in Victoria who told me To have it sent to his house and he would re-ship it to me at less than half. Mostly seals, sending units and small electronic stuff. @OGBeno, @Japan4X4 and @mudgudgeon have some terrific information and parts access.
A more modern diesel could be a nice easy way to go. I stopped into the Toyota dealer parts department and the guy looked at me as if i made up some special name for the motor and tried to see if he would fall for the prank.
I have such a better understanding of a 2F or an F block. I would not even consider swapping for a diesel. Were it possible, I would find another 2F and build it myself. Reading the engine manual for the 14B left me questioning if I even had the right oil filter
