as im on my p's to when i had my 60 i was looking for more power then what the 60 had but as you know you can't have V8's or turbo's but you can have diesel turbo's diesel V8's (you would think if there going to put a dumb ass law like that in they would look in to it more) any way i was looking into the 6BT Cummins good power turbo diesel and more then capable of a 12sec pass on the 1/4 the only down side to this was $$$
Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set
I wouldnt be pulling an 4.0L 6 cylinder out and then trying to convert a 4.2L 6 cylinder, that probably wont go any better, will cost money to convert and will need to be engineered
If you are stuck with a 6 cylinder because of DOT laws, then get another 3f. 4.5 litre 1fzf will be a headache to convert, the h55 gearbox wont last too long behind a 1fzf, so you would need a gearbox as well
I seriously would be putting in a 12ht, but for ease and cheap a 3f, then when you are off Ps, 3f eti (EFI, turbo, intercooled :-), V8s wont be able to keep up. look at Matt Mcinnes thread on IH8MUD.com ( and probably on here)

91 FJ 80 Project on the go - air lockers, 3in lift, super duper 3F, 36" pedes, toyota V8 getting prepped now
yer seen matts car on 3rd rock love it but motor not for me
maybe thinking another 3f till i getoff me p's now unless i can find out more about a falcon 6
also i think the h55 gearbox will be plenty strong enough as my dads cruiser has a 350 chev behind it and not a problem i work at toyota and have seen them 2 be tuff as nails

Toyota never ran a H55 behind a 4.5 IMHO for good reason, tough they are, unbrakeable they are not. They will handle a V8 if you dont abuse it, but I know how i drove when I was young, I wouldnt use one behind a powerful engine. Even now.
