what engine?

[dongsese]

hi, i'm planning to buy an '83 Landcruiser bj44 and i plan to replace the engine with a 1hd-t with auto tranny. is this ok? can anyone suggest a better engine?

1hz... only cause the early 1hd-t's threw big end bearings.

a 13b-t (direct injection 4 cyl diesel) used in various toyota products... up there with the 1hd-t power wise, but should (disclaimer) fit the bj engine mounts, and should bolt up to the bj's gearbox... slightly simpler engine when it comes down to electrics etc...

don't let this disswade you from a 1hd-t... most should have thrown the bearings by now, just throwing up some other ways to reach the diesel goal
