Where in Central America do you live? I'm in Nicaragua, where you can get a 4D56 or 4M40 for about $3k, installed. These engines are not new, tough, but are complete with all you need.

What do you get for $3800? Usually, with these new engines you get all but the injection pump, glow plugs and wiring, alternator (not the same as petrol engine) and turbo.

If you decide to come here to look for an engine, you can can contact me if you need any help.
