Yes, they have. HOWEVER, most people that DD these cars say that the B (or even H) is just too much. Also, you have to cut the intake manifold to make it clear without losing any foot room OR you have to stretch the front clip of the car and make it 4-6" longer. A carb'd D series goes in without any major body surgery. He did say he had to make a custom crossmember, move the radiator from the LH side to the RH side, and the alternator is from a Kubota Diesel and it's on the front of the engine instead of the back now.
