its LN40 by the way, not LM40. all hilux's IIRC are xNxx
being that one engine was an L series , and the other was a R series, im 90% sure that you wont be able to throw the L engine on the R bellhousing.
there is also the problem with the engine mounts and the sumps as they are mostlikely different.
it is definitly alot of work when you could pick up another 18r for no more than $100. i would be able to sell you an 18r for $100 if you want to take that path.
i ve been in a LN40 hilux and its far far from fast, it'll be even slower in a 4wd body.
