You can still buy a short block from Toyota. Or here in the classifieds used motored come up for sale all the time.

I’m sure Toyota wants a arm and leg for that , the lowest I’ve seen is 4200 for a long block and that’s pretty steep .

Be aware, 4200 is going rate for a short block at retail pricing. Toyota does not offer a long block option.
Used motors can be had for a grand usually.

Sweet. According to description it’s an 8 cyl 1fz

$9500 bucks might seem like a lot of money for a factory engine but it's not. Here's the funny thing, if you were to do a complete rebuild on a used motor, using all new factory replacement parts, then add in the machine shop cost to do all the machine work, plus the labor to put the motor together you'll be at, or over that 9500 dollar cost. If you go with the factory motor you'll get the added bonus of a factory warranty.19000-66052 Genuine Toyota Engine Assembly, Partial

The truck doesn't look that rusty from your pictures? Oh well, it convinced me not to attempt a PM hg job myself lol.
Anyway @LandCruiser65 I'd just keep an eye out for a used engine like people have been saying. Plenty of people pull out perfectly good engines to swap in a V8.
A brand new engine probably isn't worth it IMO unless the rest of the truck is in excellent condition and/or you're doing a full restoration along with it. A rebuild can be reasonable if you pull the engine yourself and bring it to a machine shop with your own parts.
Btw, how'd you determine the engine is toast? I've seen a few threads here recently where people thought it was knocking and it turned out to just be a steering gear or something else minor.
What actually occurred? Did the engine seize under load? Symptoms? Noises, smoke????
Have you dropped the oil to check for evidence of metal? Filter?
Even if it's spun a big end bearing a replacement crank & conrod would be significantly cheaper and easier than rebuilding a replacement short block.
I'd be pulling the sump before committing to pulling the engine.
I just look at this thread: Goose Gear 80 Series Engine Replacement - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/goose-gear-80-series-engine-replacement.1257278/ and the OP has spent an awful lot of time and money on what turned out to be a simple blown headgasket.

Could that cause the crank not to turn ? I’m not sure what happend but the old lady was driving it so she just said it made a wierd clacking sound than just Stop running while she was driving . I crank it but it sounds like the starter is stuck . The only sound I’m hearing is the starter trying to start . It just makes a single click and I can fell the impact through the frame of the car . My brother said he think the timing chain broke and it’s jammed inside the front cover .
