As long as the engine size is the same, it should bolt right in. With the box, not sure if the bellhousing is the same or not. But when you take it out, it will be as one assembly with box and motor together anyway. Just take the bell housing of the box and put it on the new motor to see first. Plus, fuel pump will need to be electric and not mechanical too.
