A friend has the Toyota pickup and would like to rebuild the engine while restoring the truck. He has been told that the only parts source is Australia. If you have a complete engine I can ask him if he is interested.

More information....my friends truck is a 1982 model with the original engine. Is this the same 2L engine that had "issues" in some 70 Series Land Cruisers? My friend has not ruled out a complete engine change however his preference is to rebuild the existing powerplant.
