The reality of the GM enigine is that this is one of the only cast iron 6 cylinder engines that is used in industrial applications. As far as I know Toyota does not build a cast iron V6 or V8.

The volume is simply not there to justify designing and building a new engine.

Also Toyota and GM have a relationship on the car side of the business. Toyota builds a few cars for GM and also leases an assembly plant in Ca from GM.
