Those engines will fit, but wont bolt straight in. Gearbox input shaft is different, engine mounts are different for starters.

Why do you need the extra power? Not being a smart arse, it is a legitimate question.

grab a wrecked 2H or 1HZ 75 and swap all the relevant bits over with which ever motor you want, 12HT or 1HZT

What garrett is on your 3B ?
