Aside from the longer trips...I LOVE THE RIG! Just something HAS to be done and its either a new rig, or V8, or the possiblity or 2FE and H55, but Im still not convinced that the latter will make it much better.
Just the same, from what Im hearing here, I just might be in the same boat with a "FO Runnah" that is modded too with either motor in question.
Just considering the options while sticking with my love of toyotas!
All the help and responses are very appreciated!

The money you put into a mini making it do what you want it to would easily be solved with a V8 conversion.
And, in the end, you would still have your 60.
Mini's are cool, but they weigh almost as much as your 60. With a 4 banger..
The auto is killing you, but more motor would make it considerably better.
Bob's actually downright fun! And he only has a 302...
