97 FZJ80 thinking about swap options... Tundra? (1 Viewer)

[CREACHR]

What expenses would have to over come to swap a Tundra V8 into my tired FZJ80 other than the obvious (new engine)? How easy is the swap? New tranny needed? Electrical? Exhaust system?

Basically I have an 80 that I need to figure out a new option other than my stock engine. Prior owner sold it to me with some hidden issues with the head... Think I would rather swap with a different engine then finding a new FZ engine, but want to keep it Toyota... Would love the power from the V8 and gas mileage would probably be an improvement as well.

Suggestions?
