has anyone ever put a chevy 350 small block in a toyota truck?
I have a 1991 Toyota pick-up, standard cab, and I want a small block Chevy 350 laid carburetor V8 engine in it, has anyone a good place to know to purchase one of these engines, in need of a rebuild or a 700R transmission under $ 100. 00, or any helpful information?

Yes, I have done it twice. It is very difficult and requires alot of metal fabrication. Also alot of cutting, and welding under-hood and on the frame. You will also have to take out almost the whole floor panel and weld in new supports and floor. If you have the tools and the ability to see what is needed and make it yourself. It can be done.
I did it to a 77 toyota standard cab and a 1987 extended cab. I used small block 327s in both cases. I got one from an Elcamino and the other from a pickup.
I would recommend getting a long block crate motor from GM though. After much research after the fact I found that it would have been more economical for me to do so. I had to but alot of new parts to make it look good. If i would have bought the crate motor I would have spent just a little bit more and had a brand new motor with a warranty. Hindsight is always 20-20.
