Haha. Brandon let me get some good information in here first before you break it.
Another avenue I may try is hire a freight broker to ship my halfcut. This could prove a bit more risky since I'll need to get a halfcut that has a dismantler willing to compression check the engine and run it. This could save me some money if I bypass the importer but perhaps the savings isn't worth it. I'll need to investigate a bit more.

^^^ i was going to try to come up with something clever and funny, but i haven't had coffee yet, so that's out.
I don't think it has the big game theme, i thought it had more of an Asian feel. So i found the name of the song so you can play it in your 85 and dream of having a solid axle diesel, the perfect Yota(you are half way there). When i drop this lump in my rig, i need to have a theme song.(note to self, Foxy Shazam's 'I Like it', may not be for every crowd)
Name of the song in the video:
Hardships are Assets by Self Help Audio Books

^^^ Nooe, these engines are not available in North America in production vehicle form. They are available as a marinized version and medium duty Hino trucks(so I've read).

Nothing to really report.
Been hunting down different auction sites to see if it is cheaper to go direct and hire a freight broker (logistics co.) to pick up my purchase and ship it. Wit that in mind, i am also looking for salvage vehicles in Europe also, hopefully a LHD, that would be excellent.
Some 1KDFTV pics
1KZT for comparison
Unfortunately i will probably miss Rausch Creek (June 23)this year due to the engine swap, but we will see.
