A later box should fit into your bus ok, you just need to swop the front mounting bracket on the nose cose for the early one on your box. The additional bell housing top mounts on the later box will just be redundant and you wont need to use them on an early.

Hope this is of some help :roll:

As do I. I found that using a later box allows you to use the later clutch setup which is much more reliable IMHO.
