1986 Pickup Turbo Swap to V8

I have a 1986 Toyota Pickup Turbo currently with a 22R-TEC and Garrett turbo that I'd like to change out for a V8. I am trying to decide between a SBC and a 1UZFE to replace my turbo motor. Does anyone have an opinion on which motor they feel is a better swap? I'm also going to be trying to get rid of my complete motor/turbo/exhaust/etc if anyone is interested. Thanks!

I would do a 1UZFE or a Chevy 350, because there are tons of 350's, so parts are super common and cheap, plus it's a very reliable engine.

Yup and as many times as it's been done, there's no mystery left to ponder.

How in depth are you wrenching and fabrication skills?
