Think you will find that most of them have a fairly serious weight disadvantage for a surf. Having said that, it can be got around, it just takes a lot more work

How much would a Toyota Diesel V8 set you back though... Driven a few before in the 70 series and they are beautiful engines but I think you could buy a Surf and several 1UZ's (in case you blow one up) for less than the price you could obtain a diesel V8, it'll be nice in a few years time when they are more available.
