Think you might be better going a rotary engine 
But seriously, the Jimny is well set up as it is, nicely balanced and the right amount of torque. Chucking a V6 would defeat the whole purpose of the lean mean off-roading machine. IMHO 
Nonetheless, quite a few downunder have put 2L motors in and 1 has put 2.7 V6 from a wrecked XL7 Suzi. I think that if one has the money and the inclination one can do almost anything. I'd stop at the 1.6 conversion, cheap easy and no mods.
