Interesting idea. It would certainly be unique. With a 240D 4 speed and a divorced t-case (I think the Sammi already has one doesn't it?), it should be quite do-able. The more common swap is a VW TD. Lots more power, less weight, more parts availability...

Do the 240D and 300D share the same bell-housing bolt pattern?
luke from 4x4labs is now making an adapter to bolt a toyota 4spd to the 300D.

I believe both the toyota landcruiser and sammi share a passenger-side drop front-output.

240D/toyota 4spd/toyota tcase

might as well through in toyota axles

Yup. Bolting a 240D 4-speed up to a 300D motor is a common swap in the MB Diesel world - however vibration issues are also common...

That wasn't very helpful - but we can overlook it since you're new here...
