About $1200US for my LSD 1989 G50 (purchased in Germany; about $2700 if bought in USA), and these don't break or wear out... fitting it to the van body will probably cost more, apart from the KEP kit. A Toyota 3.0 TDi should have fewer smog problems than US diesels or old VW ones... aren't the 3.0 diesel Hiluxes sold there? The 3.0 Prado probably also uses this engine (1KZ-T). Regards Andrew |
