While sitting hear at work with way to much time on my hands I was wondering if the Toyota 1HDFT multivalve turbo engine would fit in a GU.
I know a few people who have a L/C with this engine, they are a strong engine, no electronics, great potential with tuning and fuel economy is better than the TD42.
Probably the first thing that may be a problem is the exhaust on the opposite side.
Just filling in time but has anyone done or considered doing this.

Ash on the Patrol Forum there is a thread talking about a guy fitting one after his ZD30 go boom.
The full thread is on the 4wdmonthly forum IIRC ill see if I can find the links.

a new TDV8 outta the new cruisers would be pretty tasty in a patrol
or the twin turbo version out of a 200 series

Now were talking.
All I have to do is find the room, time and money.
Plus permission from the Darl to spend 2-3 months in the garage, which is probably the most difficult bit.

it would actually be a pretty easy swap, hardest bit would be adapting the gearbox/transfer.
if it was auto id use a toyota box and if it was manual id use the nissan box
is there an adaptor around to go from the yota auto to a nissan transfer?
