you can move the resevoir to the inside of the cab. there are a few tech articles on how to do it floating around the web (each one is a little different)

you can also replace your current brake booster with one from a 79-83 model pickup. they are considerably smaller and use the same bolt pattern.

i like the idea of keeping a yota a yota..... so i say go for a 1jz/2jz, or a 1uz-fe swap! but if you don't want to break the bank a chevy/ford small block is the way to go.
