I got the toyota diesel when jarco was still importing them. They can't now due to customs or the epa or something. Emissions isn't the problem everyone thinks it is. I just went to the tag office and told them I had swapped a diesel motor out of a newer truck in and would like that reflected on my tittle. 1 week later I have a tittle saying that it is a 4cy diesel instead of a 6cy gas. Now that was GA, but I know of guys that have done the same thing in CALIFORNIA!!!!! and the only thing different was they had a one time emission inspection for the diesel and after that they were emission exempt.
All that being said, a 3.4 would be cheaper, probably easier, and you can easily get the 5spd with a 3.4, I'm stuck with an auto!

yes, the 4cy diesel (and an auto to boot) is quicker than the v6/5spd combo. I do alot of city/military base driving and get 23mpg. On the highway once I averaged 27mpg and am trying to repeat that. (I have a problem of tweaking a few things at once and they don't always work out). I am also going to regear from my 4.10 to 3.73 (with 32" tires). With the v6 I had 4.56 gears with these tires. The problem with this toyota diesel is finding one now that they don't import them. There are still a few here and there, but none of these places had the reputation that jarco did, and when your talking $4k and having to wait to order parts for it, that makes a huge difference. Also if you find one remember that without the computer, harness, and transmission it is pretty much useless. The easiest/cheapest route would be the 3.4, unless you are just really a diesel person, that's my problem!

If you're looking at doing the 3.4 swap and a tranny swap at the same time, you might be biting off more than you want to chew on. I believe that your auto and transfer case are not detachable from one another and it won't bolt up to a 5 speed. If you get a transmission and transfer case from at 3.4, the transfer case outputs the front driveshaft on the driver's side, not the passenger side.
Bolting it to your auto is probably the easiest way to go.
If anyone can shed light on the auto/transfer case compatibility, chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.
