I'd use a VW TDI engine. This engine will likely be more advanced than the Toyota diesel, meaning more power/Liter and better efficiency. However, this would involve a bit more engineering work.

Why don't you work out the bugs and give me some blueprints?
There are already high quality adapters on the market to mate early AHU and 1Z (96-98) TDI engines to Toyota truck transmissions.

They were originally designed for people using toyota transmissions in offroad Suzukis, but some have used them to put the VW diesels in Toyota trucks
