Details please. I am looking for the right engine for my 80 4x4. Overall cost and other such figures would be useful, if you don't mind.
Thanks!

That's cool you switched the LUV to diesel. The 2.2 diesel engine is a tough engine, so you took a step in the right direction. You are the 2nd person i have heard put a diesel into the older 72-80 LUVs. My uncle did it and he had to do a few custom things, especially glow plug stuff. Do you know how many MPG you are getting also?
