got another motor.

I changed the head and rod bearings in this before it went in and put new glow plugs..

Ac Airpump and new alternator.

new pipes for the intercooler and air intake

new radiator with slim electric fan.

Manifold from y61. With inlet on top.

need a front mount intercooler. May not be very thick.

I can get five Nissan 2.8L 6cyl (RD28T) 135hp engines for the price of one Toyota 3.0L 4cyl (1KZ-T) 130hp engine
Everything here called Toyota is priced up to the sky,

Hi guys.
The swap is now ready. And could not be any later as it started snowing last week.
I am very satisfied with the resault. The motor is very sharp and has good powerband. And in this light truck , and with such a low drive ratio (5:71) but at 2350rpm at 60mph.
The power is considerably greater than the v6.
The diesel engine holds speed upphill in 5th gear and dooing 50mph where the v6 had to be tortured in 4th eaven 3rd gear.
The best thing is the 22mpg fuel consumption in mixed driving which is three times the reduction From the 3.0 v6
