The big problems are: -the 350 oil pan won't clear the front drive axle -the front driveshaft won't clear the oil pan/bell housing -there is no adapter to mate the stock tranny/t-case to a 350 -the stock 8-bolt front/10-bolt rear won't last long under the 350 power in low 4WD, neither would the tranny/t-case if there were a mating adapter
For a V8 4x4 LUV the best method is to start with a 2wd, then add the v8 & matching 4wd tranny/t-case along with front & rear straight axles strong enough to handle the power. The big problem with this method is that only Toyota axles are even close to matching the original track, all others will stick way out past the body.
