The 3.0 was really bad about blowing head gaskets. I don't know a lot about mechanics but can any other Toyota engine be dropped in without changing everything else out?

I need to get Hulapopper to chime, in he doesn't check in much. We hauled his to Crumps place in Jasper 15 years ago with around 100 on it. Toyota covered the repair under some kind of recall and he's still driving it! Last time I talked to him it had over 300k and he drives the hell out of it.
One day the right woman will come along and the next thing you know you'll be wearing her underwear!

You can put a 4 cylinder in it but you'll have to change transmission and transfer case also. There are tricks to working on a 3.0 and getting them right. And they all run hot, look at the way the exhaust runs behind those aluminum heads, piss poor design. Most old Toyota guys think that's what causes the head problems on them.
