how about you go to the engine swap page on this forum and do a little research instead of asking stupid questions. if your asking what is the easiest engine swap, that tells me you probably dont have the skills to do it anyways.

I am in the middle of a 4.3 vortech swap after doing a ton of research- mostly opinions of Marlin, pirate4x4 and yotatech members and it seemed to offer the best power, torque, fit, value, durability and ease of installation. some say the 3.8 buick is easier but only slightly and it has overheating problems w less power.
I had a 94 4.3 1/2 ton ex cab work truck that I put 278,000 miles on without any problems 17-18 mpg.

Click on the red a similar thread to your question disregard some of the flamage
Check out YotaTech Engine Swap Folder
3.4 Swaps could Run several thousand dollars depending on your sources and abilities but are cool because it keeps it Toyota

**I would suggest using searching Pirate 4x4 as a resource but be wary of posting there, Flaming Newbs is an accepted tradition there
Here is a Link to an All Toyota Search Engine that hits over 80 Toyota Sites.
Just do a ton of research before you start, that $100 engine somebody offers you down the road may not be such a good deal as it seemed.
Personally I am leaning towards a 4.3 FI Chevy. Been done a million times, tons of info and you can get parts from any Parts store in the country...

So maybe I'm young, naive, and totally uneducated, but I love the 22re, I'm running 35's on it right now and the truck weighs nearly 4500 lbs with the added armor, roll cage, bumper, full size spare, tools, and jack, and I get 18 mpg easy with plenty of grunt.
