Suggestion !!!!
Have you tried engine rebuilders, feel sure this engine would have a sharing with a Toyota block, could be a cross reference. I believe Diahatsu bought their engines in, as well as other parts,for Fourtraks and Sportraks as they had a tie up with Toyota, now the present owners, or majority of. A PM to 'assassin' may help you. Your flag says US, but could be a US internet provider, it may help others to help you, if you state where you actually are. 'Whoops' see you are in Cornwall, UK. !!!!

Toyota
The engine was indeed a Toyota unit and components are available from them, you will need the engine number and designation code.
Take this to a helpful Toyota dealer and it may be possible they have one knocking around in their stores or workshops.
The engine designation code should be on a plate on the engine block somewhere, depending upon engine type. Many parts were interchangable between engines as they were merely uprated rather than full new engines, but uprated engines carried a different designation code.
