The early Land Cruiser did have a copy of the 235 Chevy engine. Word has it that Chevy shared the spec info. with Toyota. I also hear that some of the parts are interchangable.
Just today I saw an old Land Rover. I talked to the owner and he said it was a 1964. He didn't know what engine it had so I looked at it. It looked just like the Chevy 250!! Ran well too.
