What's also nice about the new 2F is you buy a rebuildable core (which apparently costs an arm and a leg now whereas people used to scrap them left and right when doing 350 swaps and you could get them free) and then have it built while still enjoying your 40 with the old tired 2F. Then it's a weekend swap and break in and you're smiling ear to ear. I think you can have a nice hot rod 2F motor for under $10k all in. You're probably looking at $15-$20k with cost of new stuff, adapters, and paying someone to swap the 2.8? Redline also offers hot rod 2F motors:
Red Line Land Cruisers has developed a modernized option for more power utilizing the factory inline-six 2F Toyota powerplant at a lower cost than the typical V8 conversion.

edit: Ok. I read all the way to the bottom of the redline page and they say $18k for the 2F hot rod. oooofff. no thanks. I thought I read somewhere that the Mosely COP motor was less than half that? I can have someone build me a 700hp NA stroked LS3 for less thank $18k, not that I'd want one in a cruiser.
