    Hey guys my 1985 pickup just blew an engine and it’s totally toast . Does anyone have any ideas of where or how to get a cheap but also reliable possibly original Toyota engine to swap in? Any leads or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes it’s looks like the starter is hanging off and it’s drained all the oil out and looks like there’s a hole in the bottom of the engine when I get under the truck , sorry I’m not sure where the oil came from exactly I’m not very mechanically inclined. Thanks for your reply
