1UZ!

for the cost of changing the engine and box, let alone cert for new engine why not just get a cheap we runabout for them to learn in?

Unless the dollars aren't an issue, I'd say sell the auto and buy a manual one, I know they are harder to find but they are out there.
Or as said above, buy the kids a cheap run about, something small and easy to drive, also a cheap car that you won't mind a few small dings and scratches in as they learn how to drive.
If dollars aren't an issue, then 3L or 5L with intercooler and supercharger.

Thanks I do like the idea off a manual Prado and it would be cool if it was super charged too ..Have always liked the 2.8 diesel as a motor. . Think I may have to do some more research on this. .Thanks

Well. What type of super charger would you use and what would have to be done to the motor.
