If the cost of buying a complete VTSS is stopping you, have you thought about the 5.0 from an earlier Commy???
I have a complete conversion for sale, check my sig.

Surf Diesals have different engine chassis mounts than 4 Runner V6s, they are positioned further forward, so no it will not bolt straight in.
