1983 sr5 pickup 2jz twin turbo swap

I'm new so hello. I've read through some of the forums and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I acquired an 83 Toyota sr5 pickup (manual) 4x4 and I'm wanting to put a 2jz twin turbo or another turbo engine in its place. I do understand it's a lot of work and somewhat of a pita. It's a one owner truck also with just shy of 100k on all original. Body is a bit rough with rust but I don't care. This is a play project that I know I'll have to throw money at and I'm OK with that. I do have a full working machine shop which include welders, lathes, hones etc and I an mechanically inclined but the is a first custom swap for me. I do want to stay with efi and prefer to stay away from the v8's. This is literally day 1 brainstorming and gathering information. If you have some valuable information to offer I'd greatly appreciate it. If you don't then please move along.

and you probably won't if you don't ask a question. Not a single question mark in your post mate.
