I wanted him to do the same thing to my 80, when the motor goes. Actually, I would like a Cummins in there.

BTW, I got the 4runner limited over the weekend. Man, that thing is nice.

Jeff, congrats on the 4Runner. I saw a number of diesel swap threads on ih8mud, pretty much unanimous praise for how much it improves the truck. I wonder if he used a GM diesel V8 from the '80s? I recall seeing a few of those, if I recall correctly they bolt in pretty much the same as a SBC and using adapters that are readily available.
