My '72 FJ40 is currently powered by a small-block that is burning a lot of oil. I'm wanting to pull the engine and transmission and swap it out for a diesel. I was planning on going with a 1HDT 4.2 with a manual transmission, but I'm having trouble sourcing one. I want to buy the engine and transmission together as a unit. Seems like I used to see them on ebay often, but not really seeing any now. However, I'm seeing several of the 1KZ-T 3.0 engines available. Also finding them together with the manual transmission, as a unit. I definitely want to stay with a mechanical pump to keep the wiring as simple as possible. I was wondering what your thoughts (collectively) are on these engines, and which one I should go with. Also, any help with sourcing these would be appreciated.
