It has been done and has been done recently. There was a guy on www.toyotadiesel.com that did this swap. But I think he used the Mecr auto tranny. But you should be able to figure out some way to mate the two together if you are going that deep into a project.

I had wanted to do the same swap. I wish I wasn't in such a rush to get this thing I got on the road. I'm sure it is a matter of time before this one blows too. Keep us informed and post s link to the thread you are talking about.
