Zeke, Mike, That 2.2 once problems rectified would be a good fit for a CJ-5 or earlier model that is not into highway speeds but into 4WD and off road use. Much better fit than in the Hilux. The sump is not a conglomerate and as such can be welded to enable the front assembly to be left intact with sump and oil pick up modifications/relocation.
