Hey Check this out a '91 5.0 HO in a '91 4Runner members.ozemail.com.au/~jonhel5/ but anyways that i know of the drive shaft output for the 4WD on Fords is on the drivers side, the toyota has the diff. on the passanger side. You can though get a adapter to place a 4cylinder gear driven transercase so that the drive shaft is where it should be. Here are severl links that ive come across that should have some helpful information.http://www.mindspring.com/~jayk3/toyota/swaps.htm Heres a '83 Pickup with a '88 5.0 HO www.pirate4x4.com/tech/Engine/index2.html#Flywheel
