Some more info on the engine.

It was "in" the wagon when I bought it. It had been previously pulled and just placed back onto the engine mounts. Nothing else was hooked back up.

I was told that two owner's prior to me someone had pulled the engine with the intention to put it into a Land Cruiser, but that they couldn't get the engine started. A replacement engine was found for the Land Cruiser and the wagon engine was put back into the wagon before it was sold.

The previous owner never got around to doing anything with the car, having purchased it as a project. He turned the engine over regularly, but that's about it.
