I'm not a FJ40 guy but I thought you might appreciate this. This guy is a phenomenal metal worker who restores old Jeeps including building complete bodies from scratch.
At any rate he is starting a project to drop an aluminum Toyota marine V8 into a 40. 300 HP I think he said. In this first video he fabs a custom bell housing from 3/16" and 1/4" plate to mate to an H55.
I watch his Jeep videos just to watch him turn sheet of steel into body panels. And by watching his axle work on very early Jeeps you can see where Toyota learned to build truck axles.
Seems like this is a bit of a side project for him but I'll be watching the whole thing.
