I'm not big on Toyota blocks, but I know the 3UZ-FE will fit in a Defender, how does the 1FZ differ?

When you say fit. How do you mean? What country are you in? It seems an odd choice of engine.
Ultimately anything can be done with time abs money. But I doubt you’ll find many or any that have done this conversion. Nothing it likely to bolt straight up.

It's a big, heavy, hungry, 6 cylinder.
Might be better to fit a big, hungry, Rover V8, which will use about the same amount of fuel, but be a lot lighter and a ****load cheaper to buy and install - Or just buy one pre-fitted and save all the hassle.

There’s a couple of companies that advertise in the Landy magazines who specialise in engine conversions with Japanese engines. They I’ll be able to advise. With the availability of Tdi engines, such conversions aren’t as common now.
