H150 gearbox into a 75 series?

Has anyone fitted an 80 series H150 gearbox into a 75 series? I'm seriously considering this when I get the 1HDT install sorted out. Right now it is mated to an H55 gearbox.

The 4.5L petrol 75 series has always had the similar H151 gearbox.
Questions for those familiar with the 75 series:
1. Is the crossmember supporting the gearbox located further aft compared to the diesel 75 series?
2. Does the floor plate where the shifters poke through have the same outline as the diesel? It seems to me the H150 have its shifters much farther aft than the H55.

I'll accept the fact the driveshafts will have to be resized.

Any help would be appreciated!

The crossmember is further back H150 it is in the rear alloy housing of the gearbox. This is more for clearance for the front tailshaft. Shifter position is also further back you will need a transfer lever of a FZJ75ser ute. The floor plate as well should fit in the cab. If you could find a wrecked one for donour parts would be easy but they are a bit rare.
