Default Landcruiser alternative powerplant

Ben

Here in good old Oz we have a LOT of 1970's Landcruisers. They have a very suitable diesel engine for CMPS. A history lesson shows that Toyota 'borrowed' many ideas from the Chev in Line 6.

You might consider a 70's Landcruiser engine. I am fairly sure that the bellhousing is the same (surprise, surprise) as a CMP. In fact I know of a member who had a Petrol Landy engine in a C60S, & it was a powerful beasty!

They (landcruisers) were available here in both Diesel and Petrol depending on your taste.
A bit cheaper than a Nissan TD42. So Ben you are on the right track!
