Swapping a toyota engine into my 110 defender need some help

Honestly no those engines are not that early available in my country the only engines that are easily available including parts is Toyota and Nissan the reason why because a 98 percent of all the vehicles in my country are Nissan and Toyota.

And to bring engines in my country cost alot because of taxes and duty. you would end up paying at least at least 100 percent on an engine of that size if you bring it in the country. the reason why i can buy an engine from some on is because they smuggle the engine in the country and don't pay taxes and duty on them so they work out to be far cheaper
my country is really corrupted country but that another story

so my choice are very limted to toyota and nissan i have read that people have put isuzi engine in 110 defender even though you might find the engine parts for the engine are hard to find

Ohh just one other thing is the toyota 1kz-te use timing belt or chain? i rather use timing chain or just gears because i have experience where timing belt burst on my landrover engine and damage values and alot other crap

Bugger, I suppose that's what happens when I assume something....
Shame you can't easily slip an HS2.8 over the border. :(

The only reason the Isuzu is mentioned is that the 3.9 litre 4BD1 was factory fitted here from about 1979 through to around 1990, so there are parts and bits to easily fit them.

Concerning the Toyota 1KZ-TE. That the electronically injected version and the thing is my defender is really old some i think its 1980 or before then i am not too sure and the wiring harness is very simple wiring harness so i won't it be hard to fit up the ECU ect. Or when you buy the engine it comes with the ecu and everything and its a matter of plugging it up and adapting it to the existing wiring harness.
Don't think i should go with the 1KZ-TE but the 1KZ-T because its much more trouble hook up all those electronic for the 1KZ-TE can some give some more in sight on this

actually i found a 1KZ-T engine today look good condition but i need to know how to distinguish between the EFI setup and non EFI setup because the guys said the engine is not EFI but i want to make sure because if i buy it and then find out it is i cannot return it

the efi diesels I have seen have a throttle body with air sensors and throttle position sensors on the intake manifold and the fuel pump has more electrical wires going to it than normal and has what looks like a black box attatched to the pump, and if it was turboed it would have a boost sensor as well. I would stay away from the efi engine.

i don't want to use an efi engine but i want to be able to tell the difference between the efi and non efi version because i don't want any one selling me an engine thinking that its a none efi and find out later that it is
another thing would the efi version engine have wires going to the injectors

the toyota efi engines I have worked on DO NOT have wires to the injectors they are to look at the same as a standard motor, the electrical stuff is connected to the fuel pump and the pump has several plugs going to it, most diesel engines that have wires coming from the injectors are common rail injection. A standard engine with a rotory fuel pump non efi should only have one electrical wire going to the fuel pump and that is to the fuel shut off solenoid, (most later engines run a rotory pump)
