Well,

I finally talked to the guy and he forgot the key so I didn't get a great look at anything.

I would love to put a diesel in if it was that easy as I'm a diesel guy myself but something tells me its not that easy or as cheap to get one of those. If it was I would do it though.

I should be able to get the 4runner for ~600 and the new engine I'm hoping for around the same. I already have found the rebuilt complete motor located up the road for ~800.

I have the time and a shop to work on it so I guess I might as well go for it. I still have the old engine so I'm sure I could get rid of a few parts and if all goes well be into one of these with a new engine for jsut over $1500. That sounds pretty reasonable to me. That would leave me a few dollars to put some goodies on it and enjoy the thing off-road.

And yes to flushing the tank and a new filter.
