Justin you do not say which motor is in your duelcab, but both are very good durable motors. The 2.6 efi petrol loves extractors and a good exhaust, and is very tuneable. But the conversion will cost more then the truck is worth, but yes the v6 is a very compact motor and it is surprising what it will fit into.
Good luck Pete

No problem getting a head for a 2.6 I would think. Mate just rebuilt his and bored it out to 2.7. If you are having trouble getting a head let me know and I will ask where he got his from. New head, rings and bearings and it will be good for another 300000ks..
I would think you would be looking at $4000 if you do the work yourself, and double that if you pasy someone. Give that guy at Moree a ring and ask him for and estimate for him to do it.
I have head off some experts being able to reweld heads as well.
Good luck, let us know what you decide on
Cheers Pete
