Looks like the whole thing will just bolt up as normal !!

Welding is a bit of technique and an awful lot of practise. Once you have the first bit right the second is what makes it pretty. Ugly welds work too though.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

i converted my V6 to a 1KZ diesel auto, at the time and probly still now the 95 series diesels are rare and rocking horse SH*T in perth and this 120 kz auto was sitting around at a wreaker.... its out of a 04 120 but id say its identical still only a 4spd
im also running the 120kz ECU aswell
still got the V6 diffs as there better ratio for economy
a mate is doing the same conversion now so it will be interesting to see if theres any difference in ECUs or boxes
front diff drops down the pass side
visually if you saw them both on the floor you wouldnt tell the difference unless you Really knew what to look for
i do need to find the 4wd actuator motor for it though as it was missing , hoping my 120diff lock motor will work(they bolt up in the same bolt holes) other wise i have access to a 95 series center diff lock motor

Thanks for the info Scott. If I research a bit more I'll probably work out what that transfer model is. I'm definitely keen on a 2H/4H/4HL/4LL transfer, but I don't have any plans to change the transmission.
On topic:
Tonight I performed some more welding for the Prado (more pics in my build up thread)
