No worries pal

This may be too late....

Make a pair of alignment dowels by cutting the heads off M10 x 60 bolts and put them in place of two of the lower bellhousing bolts. This stops the gearbox hanging on the input shaft and possibly damaging the nose bearing or oil seal. Cutting screwdriver slots in them before fitting will make them easier to get out.

The box will fit but clutch / flywheel is different , , if your just going to change the box there won't be any difference
