I've got this 81 Luv Diesel (2WD) that has a bad motor. The overhaul is gonna cost way more than I can afford, and spare motors seem to be non-existent. I am wondering if there are other models or years for motors that would work in an 81 Luv Diesel. Maybe if I can find one of those I'll have a better chance at getting the diesel back up and running. I'd hate to scrap it, and selling it for parts wouldn't be as fun as driving it around again. Any advice?

Isuzu Pup's, Trooper's and some S10's used the C223 Diesel engine.

So THAT'S what my engine should look like. Instead of oily and rust coloured! :ebiggrin

Notice the separate vacuum pump that GM used...much nicer, because then you can use any old Delco alternator in there. The pump is that silver round thing to the left of the intake manifold.

Nice looking engine you've got there.
