When I did my conversion I toyed with the idea of using a Pathfinder / Terrano body which is the same as a Navara windscreen foward. The engine bay is plenty wide enough due to having a V6 in some models from the factory, there was plenty of hieght but the problem was length. To fit my motor in (VH45) I needed about an extra 100mm in length.
Other than that, good idea.
I've seen photo's of a D21 with a 350 in it and that was 2 wheel drive so it can definitely be done but it will entail some panel work.
Maybe a better option is a turboed VG30. Try an old style 300ZX single turbo. Quite an easy 400hp option.
93 Nissan Pathfinder / Terrano Turboed VH45, GQ Trans and T-case, coil overs, hydraulic winch and fair bit of other stuff. (Currently a pile of parts in the workshop)
