1. Do a search, this has been asked many times in the last few months.
2. Tell us what engine is already in your hilux, this will help.
3. Not knowing your experience and facilities at your diposable its hard to know whether or not you will find a conversion hard to do.
4. Whatever the case you may have to get more realistic with your budget.

My mates dad put in a motor from a commodore but i dunno how much this would cost he did it pretty cheap as he bought a crashed commodore from an auction and did almost all of the work himself.
I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have spent much more than 5 grand

UZA80 = JZA80 (Mk4 Supra) with a 1UZ-FE in it I guess, doesn't some factory in Japan race a 'UZA80'? Jun or someone like that if I remember correctly..
