G'day peoples, I'm new and always wanting to learn more about my car, so please be nice to me.

I have a 83 Model Hilux running a tired and old 18R engine. I suspect its about to give up the ghost as I used to have a RA40 celica and obviously that had a 18R-C in it too and my celica NEVER used as much oil as this hilux does.

My question is what models of engine could I replace my 18R engine with in the Hilux. I think the 18R is somewhat underpowered and would like to invest in some more power BUT nothing that is going to leave me so broke that I cant afford to drive it!! Any suggestions on some suitable engines that will just hook up to it. Its the 4X4 model with a 4 speed standard gearbox so I'm sure that will have something to do with my options as I wouldn't be too keen to have to replace this too.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!
