Best bet would probably be to use a b234f block with the belt driven pump.
Great input John and Cosby.
This is a good lead for further investigation. I am inquiring about a California BAR workaround for repowering a Toyota, and how to get there in phases IF I don't move out of the state and circumstantially solve the BAR problem. I'd much rather have a red block than a 22re, and then a whiteblock 5 over the redblock. But that can never happen in Cali unless the car is pre-76.
The recent bill to move smog exemption to pre-82 died.
^ Very well put, should just be a tailpipe test. The current situation makes some swaps nearly impossible to pass, while obviously making less emissions.
(Based on my understanding, would be nice if there was more clear guidelines) A whiteblock in a 240 would require you to find an original manual 850t, then swap over everything including the rear mounted distributor, and cut a whole in the firewall. You could try with ME7 but then you have a dozen more headaches.
I garentee my 242 would pass a tailpipe test, but obviously fail visual.
What's wrong with a 22RE? It's a stoopidly reliable and durable motor.

TDi swap it, they even make adapters to bolt it to the Toyota trans (ACME adapters).
Bingo - same HP, more torx, better MPG, no smog worries even in CA (I think???), cool diesel clatter, and put the word 'diesel' next to 'Toyota' and the price triples, like magic. Win/win/win/win/win, you're gonna get tired from #WINNING so much.
A good running 22r or 22re is significantly faster than a stock b230f. I'm pretty sure my 380k mile 4wd truck is faster to 60mph than my 250k mile 244.
But this is turbobricks, and I'm a fan of engine swaps!
