FJ 80 engine swap.
Is it possible to swap the 4.0 engine for the 4.5 and what are the logistics of doing the swap? Thanks.

it can be done. just some updating to the bit new technology. However, if you are going to do that another motor still might be a better idea...

If you are going to do a swap, put something else way cooler in. Its not worth the effort otherwise.
