What Engine fits?

Hi Guys,
My 3B diesel has just done itself so I'm up for putting something else in FJ 70 Bundy. Does anyone know what alternatives may slot right in and where's a good place to source something? Doesn't have to be blue plated as it's only for 4x4 park use and play.
Cheers
Ian

the only thing that slots right in is a 3b. a 13bt will mount to the same gearbox, but will need other work to fit.
if you can source a gearbox out of a petrol, then the petrol range of motors (2f/3f/3fe) will go in without too many headaches.
other than that, it's conversion time, and imagination is the limit

just get another 3b.. easy to replace, cheap to buy and will keep going for ages if its a paddock basher.

Not sure cos it was a petrol to diesel conversion when I got it...
I'm thinking maybe get a a cheapo 4L Commodore enegine and sling it in...want to keep the bucks down as its only a play vehicle
3b engine

I got a 3b with a turbo sitting around for about a year now. I replaced it with a 13bt. I'm in melbourne if you're interested, we can try work something out.
Otherwise, 13bt is really worth considering. Its not that hard to change over. Nam and I put it in ourselves and we never done anything like that b4. only really minor differences.

if we're being silly here, a 1fz-fe with turbo is good too
