Yes, this has been done before. I don't know about the details but I think it may be a bit of a tight fit with no bodylift or trimming of the tunnel/floor pan. Bentzook has a couple of these in his thing, and also has a 3" bodylift.

hey cranky
hows it going ??
dellow adaptors & the rod shop do a bellhousing kit
for the lux to 4age block
unless you do body lift and or tunnel mods like markil mentioned
you will need to run the box & transfer case low in the chassis
the hilux drive lines to big for the std tunnel
it will need to hang down lower in the zook chassi
than it does in a hilux.
ive had a 22re drive line sitting in my zook as a dummy fit
but mind you im doing a flat belly so its sitting up alot more then needed
got some pics to give you an idea
hope it helps
cheers daryl

At some stage you`re going to need to modify that crossmember so the driveshaft can fit.
