Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Howdy

I have a 91 model hilux with a 2.8litre diesel motor. Unfortuantly the motor has seized. But the rest of the car is in top nick. So now i need a recon motor im guessing and am up for about 5-6grand give or take installed??
Are 2.8L diesel motors the same in a 4runner as a hilux and in a hiace?? Id imagine the hilux and 4runner are identical. Just trying to figure out my options.
Any advice would be very much appreciated as im weighing up if its worth fixing or not.
Thanks Emu

you can pickup a reco for about 4-5k, goos second handies go for about 2k.. pretty easy swap, with the right gear you would have it done in a day.

hilux and 4runner are the same hiace ones are a little bit differnt they have a differant sump and a differnt manifold i think a mate ive mine took one out of a hiace put it in a 4runner last weekend no problems just use the sump and the maifold off your old engine

Ive seen new toyota crate motors for under 5k.
worth checking out too.

Looked at crates when i got my engine done less than 12 months ago and there was only one in the country, bringing one in will cost more.

Thanks for the info, will have a hunt round for both new and other options and bung one in at home i think
Thanks Emu

ive got a spare

completely rebuilt mine for $3500 with turboed pistons and stainless valves the works might be something to look into.

I possibly have a Rebuilt 5L 3.0l Here to sell shortly if the vehicle doesnt sell in the next fortnight.
