Yes, the long block is interchangeable. You may need to swap manifolds, bellhousing, motor mounts, accessory brackets, heater pipes...
That is a good upgrade, because the 85-87 2F has all the best/final upgrades before development stopped.

Whats the history (health) of the 60 motor?

JimC (FJ40Jim) knows his stuff - listen to him.
I put a 83 FJ60 2F into a 1976 FJ55.
The biggest problem I had was having to source a fairly obscure water pump to fit - no other real problems besides that - oh, and did upgrade from a ballast resistor to a real coil and ignitor (I think I got that right).
But, I'm told a 40 has more room so the water pump problem for me might not be a problem for you.

It does have ample room.........
