i dont know what the laws are like in NZ for engine swaps, but here in Australia you must put an equal or newer motor into the car. You cannot put an older motor in.
With a 1991 hilux - your best option is a gen 3 1G-GTE. These DO bolt in with relative ease, and will match up to your W55 (they came with a W58, which is externally the same, just stronger internally)
Have a look at the article on www.toymods.org.au regarding 1G-GTE conversions and motors. Grant's article will best help explain the version you need.
Heaps of guys over here have them, most making above 120kW at the rears with gen3's.
