Yep, I bought a rustbucket '85 Toyota 4wd and swapped the engine into my 1990 4runner. Bolt-in swap in any 22re toyoter. Wiring is as simple as it gets... 12v to the fuel cutoff, 12v to the glow plugs and 12v to the solenoid.
Mine had a cracked head though, unbenownst to me. They are prone to it, as I learned in my typical post-purchase research.
Parts are rare in Canada and the US, so if you are left needing anything, you can be sidelined for quite a while. Took me 5 months to find a decend used head for $600... cost me $130 to have it shipped from South Carolina. Arrived Christmas eve... Mrs Notfarnow wouldn't let me put it under the tree!
