Hi all, I'm back again. The source of motors that Adrian had suggested seems to have dried up in Japan. They are still trying to source one for me, but haven't been able to in 3 months and are pessimistic about finding any in the future. So, can anyone else recommend a reputable source for either motor? Preferrably a 1/2 cut so I get all the small parts along with the motor/tranny.

On a side note, if that doesn't pan out, can anyone suggest a good option for a diesel conversion for a different manufacturer? My ultimate goal is a project of fitting a diesel motor into an SUV or pickup. The 4JB1/Trooper line was ideal as the motor/tranny bolted in with no welding. I wouldn't mind selling my Trooper and going with a different brand to achieve this goal. I'm just not aware of any bolt in engine/tranny options at this point. Suggestions would be apprecated.

The best case would be to find a different source of the 4JB1. We'll see what happens next.

Thanks!
Paul
