If you want to keep the HZ

Or just put a 1Hd-X in

The guys at Overland Cruisers in Belgrade Montana did an amazing job with my Cummins R2.8 swap. It's got more power and better fuel economy than a straight six from Toyota. The 2.8L pushes it just fine too, as evident with Toyota putting 2.8...
Looking ahead, I often have the same thoughts for swaps as you do. Living in the rockies, I sometimes feels like I'm pushing my 1HZ a little too hard. I have the 1GR on my short list as well, since they are plentiful, and were also available in...
Have a look at the posts from @Bogan in regards to his Cummins 2.8 swap. From his reports it sounds like it is great engine in a troopy.
17" rims open up options for tires. Kenda makes a talll skinny tire 35x10.5 for 17" rims. 255/80 R 17 and...
1HD-T is the closest to a “drop in” turbo diesel for that car. Motor mounts and bell housing should line right up. If you decide to go with a turbo for the 1HZ, be careful. Modest boost and monitor EGT’s.

Ultimate plans will be couple inches of...
I put a 1HD-T into my 1999 HZJ75 and I love it.
Use the larger 1HDT flywheel with the Isuzu 300mm fine-spline clutch, for a bolt-in setup. You will also need to source the 1HD-T air filter housing lid.
I’d just live in the slow lane with the 1HZ :D
Otherwise, if you decide you don’t care about it being a diesel, swap in an American V8, an LS. Parts availability everywhere.
I recently imported a 1995 HZJ75 from Tanzania. 555,000 KM on the ticker and overall running and driving well.
Thinking down the road, one of my goals will be an engine swap both for reliability and to make driving our mountainous highways...
