if you want the EASIEST swap than put a warm 202 in there as it'll bolt up to your gearbox. If you want a toyoa engine then put in a 2.7 ltr hilux engine/box, cheap, strong and has loads of potential......

Always wondered if the 202 would fit well in one of these, considering they run the Starfire motor and all. Wouldn't it be a bit long? If you go that, get a blue 173 block as they tend to be the strongest. Big cam, forged pistons, Aussiesped 4barrel manifold and the smallest double pumper you can find (I think you can get 395cfm's around the place) and it would be a rocket!
