I have a 1990 Toyota extra-cab pickup 3.0 manual trans.  There is a bearing in the engine that is starting to knock some.  Since a reman 3.0 engine is so pricey I was thinking about a possible V8 swap if it wouldn't be a nightmare of a task.  Any help would be great.

a carbed 5.0 with a c6 trans would be pretty good. since its carbed theres minimal computer work involved
