Any Experiences on diesel swaps?
Hey I am new to this form... not new to toyota. This is my second 4 runner and my first real 4runner(4wd). I've had it for a while and the engine feels weak. I really want to swap a diesel engine in it and I haven't found much out there that the "Clean" swaps I want. I have been looking at several of the 3.0L engines and I was told that a Mercedes-Benz Diesel drops in.
Could some please give me some first hand opinions?

the best swap you could do for a diesel is the 1kzte, would cost a pretty penny though and you would have to use an auto tranny most likely, the mercendes does not simply "drop in" there is a ton of fab work involved along with wiring and making things fit right, as long as you have expereicne, anything can be done
