Google JDM imported half cuts. You get everything you need, except the resale value.

What rig are you thinking about diesel swapping?

I am just spitballing. I would like to get for Momma the best lowest milage LC, Lexus, or possibly Sequoyia I can get for $40K about this time next year.

A diesel would be even more desirable.

One of the most fun conversions we did was pull a rotary out of a Mazda Sport Truck and drop a 20R into it from a Toyota.

All the sudden, the little truck had some bottom end and lugging ability. But it lost some top end.
