Default 2nd gen 4Runner conversion

Has anyone done a Gen III conversion in a 2nd gen 4Runner? I am planning on starting on mine in the next few weeks and was wondering what kind of trouble I am going to run into. I will be doing a body lift and sas to give me a little more room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got the engine somewhat mounted. I need to redo the motor mounts to lower it another inch or two. I guess I could go hood less
