My brother's scored himself a 98 hilux with a blown engine. Reconned 5l is around 4k but he's trying to do it a bit cheaper. Anyone ever gone with a commy v6?

yup I have in my yn67.... cost me.... scared to actually workout + still need cert so you end up doing more mods too which adds to it. so yeh depends how much you can do yourself too. and how much power you think you need.

He's in Alice springs in auzzie, picked it up for $500. I looked at a few lexus v8's, similar power but takes up more room
