I'm looking for a used diesel to replace my current 20R in my 80 pickup.
Anyone have suggestions on where to buy a decent quality JDM motor.
2LTE or something like that.
Any help is appreciated.

thanks

Finding a JDM diesel engine that has everything and hasn't been beat to within centimeters of death might be a tough go.

Have you considered a VW diesel? They seem to be a popular option and there are a few threads dedicated to them. I know it might take some fab work, but in the end it might be cheaper and easier.

Just my 2 cents.

The 2-LT may not quite be the motor you want to drive daily. HG issues abound as they do on most boosted/blown Toyota motors, and they're hardly the power houses that most diesel's are.

VW's diesel's are just too small for our trucks. I know some have done it, but having ALOT of experience with every concivable motor VW has ever produced, Petrol or Diesel, I say keep it Toyota.

Honestly, the engine you WANT is either a 1KZ-T or the D4D, the !kz will be far easier to find. Try Jarco Inc. THey'll get a line on a half cut. Be warned, I looked REAL hard at doing this as, even now with my new motor, I WANT a diesel... That said, it's not as simple a swap as the 3.4 is or even the 2.7 3RZ Taco 4Cyl (wich might just be the best choice ofr older Toy's)

Most of the 1KZ's are in front of Auto's. Maybe alright for you, but it was a deal breaker for me. If you go this route and want a 5 spd, you're looking for an R151/150 Tranny.

For me this all ended up being cost prohibitive. And again, looking back at the power I don't get out of the 22RE in these heavy little buggers, I should have done the 3RZ swap or even the 3.4.

Cheers

Dave
