Hi all,

As a fan of both Vanagons and Toyota Land Cruisers, I'm just curious if anyone
has ever considered the Toyota 2L-T engine as a possible swap for the Vanagon.
It's a 2.4L turbo diesel (indirect injection, i believe) that puts out about 97
hp and 139 ft/lbs of torque.  Even in a 4200 lb Land Cruiser, the thing can get
up to 35 mpg.  I don't think the engine was ever really sold in cars exported to
NA, but was used in Japanese domestic market HiLux trucks as well as the Land
Cruiser LJ-78, so they wouldn't be hard to get.

Anyone ever heard of such a swap?

Robin
