Japanese import motors used to be big business. But I do not hear so much about it the last few years.

If we could get our hands on the engine and controls, it could be installed in a weekend and no one would ever be the wiser.

Good luck finding parts if something goes wrong. You might have to order parts from Down Under..... If you can fix everything yourself, great, but you'll never find a mechanic that knows the engines. I'd love to have a diesel Highlux with the snorkles, but stuff always breaks in time.
