Mgagro,
As mat said,if it's the challange of doing the conversion you want then go for it! I'm not completely sure but i'd have a good guess that a 4wd gearbox from a Merc GE wagen would fit the motor,but quite where you go from there as far as propshafts,etc are concerned....well you'll have to find out! An easier way if you really love the Merc engines is just to get a complete GE wagen.Job done.The running gear on these is all made by ZF and is very very strong,and i think most models have difflocks on all 3 differentials(all the ones i've serviced have anyway).The downside is they're terribly heavy....
As 2cvfred said,personally i'd stick to something thats already had $ millions spent on testing by the factory,and save the money of a conversion for your trip. Best of luck anyway!
