yes, it should fit. mkiv supra TT diff into 98-00 LS should work but you need to swap the rear housing from your LS diff onto the supra diff due to the mount/clearance.

Wait, what? I thought we established that no differentials would work on the LS400. Is this worth the swap then?

98-00 Ls cars have a totally different rear end config than 89-97.
Depends, gearing is a compromise

a supra mkiv diff should work with some mode but no guarantee.
