Anyone know whether a KZN185 toyota surf transfer case will fit fit onto a KZN95 Prado Turbo Diesel gearbox?

Dads prado has detonated its planetaries in its transfer case, and its $3000 in parts alone to fix it, but im buying a KZN185 surf halfcut at some point to do an engine swap into the hilux, and im wondering whether the surf transfer will fit the prado.

$5000 for the entire halfcut is cheaper than $3000 for JUST a transfer case (Thats parts, Not including labour)

So... Will it work? They both run R151 gearboxes, And both kick the front output to the left of the gearbox.

Exit on the left of the gearbox?

Im leaning towards the surf box for two reasons (if it will fit)

1) its got 2wd High, 4wd unlocked high, 4wd high locked, Neutral, 4wd Locked Low.

2) It means my surf halfcut for the lux engine swap gets here a lot faster than it normally would, and i can get cracking on the engine swap a lot faster! :D
