Painless Wiring makes kits to swap a newer EFI SBC and transmission into anything, it essentially makes the powertrain a standalone unit. No need to wire the engine and transmission computers into the vehicle, just add 12V. You can easily find a newer 5.3 or 6.0 powertrain for about $1000, that gives you 300+ HP/TQ in a reliable package. It's also a truck engine, which gives you a truck friendly flat torque curve.

Personally I lusted to install a SBC into my FJ80 Land Cruiser, hence the research on my part.
