Excellent idea, especially as the A340 gearbox hung on the back of the early 1UZ engines is near identical to the AW70/1/2 box used in our Volvos. Makes mounting the gearbox and connecting the prop a spanner job. Not so sure on the engine mounts/exhaust manifolds though but sure it isn't insurmountable, after all others have already converted the 2/7/9xx cars to 1UZ power.
In fact there's a gut on YT (i believe he's in Holland, lucar-carmods i think he's called) that has done just that and even produced a kit to make fitting easier with various mounts and other things. D'oh! Got his name slightly wrong but here's episode 3 of him converting a 244 to 1UZ power :
