Had a Prado with a 1KZT for years. It was a good engine and behaved well but I wouldn't ever consider it a worthy replacement engine....diminished returns and all that... A 1HDT in a 40 though...yummy. I take it you've seen this one..skip to 6:15

why not buy a prado i have 2 lol i just always loved the 40 shape, i ran a 2004 hi lux 1kz for 4 weeks it gave me 100k to 9lts then a 2010 hi lux 4d4 i got 100k to 8,5lt & surprisingly the the 1kz is quiter than the d4d version, i have seen the heads cracked but been fitting the aftermarket ones for about 5yrs & never had one back i will put one on before it goes in, hey just noticed you r from nz do you have the 1kz with the mechanical ve pump on it over there like they do in Europe ?
i have got a yanmar 6lyp engine that need a turbo but otherwise complete would this go onto a landcrusier box & bolt ? Thanks for all your post they r really helpful
Is it the Toyota 1hd ft or 1hd t engine that Yanmar use a marine diesel? They put out a lot of HP .The 1HZ worked well in my 73 series because it was a bit lighter than a 75 series,so it should be even better in a 40.
