Not a straight swap but not too bad. I think you would need to swap ECU s over. I know when they swap them in to a hilux its easier with the earlier kzt engine from a manual surf as there is less electrical wiring for the pump. However if your auto then the whole lot should swap over fairly easily. I'd say your best options would be to buy a rotten hilux surf complete and sell on what's left at the end.
My advice is to go for a 1kz with manual pump if it’s auto you will need a standalone ecu (Compushift or Spitronics) or re wire it so you can manually shift which is what I have done.
You will need the bell housing and if auto the torque converter to go with the 1kz. And you will need to make adapter plates for the engine mounts.
