Fit the correct input shaft to the gearbox.

Contact 4WD monthly, one of their writers fitted a 13bt (similar engine) to a 40 sereis troopy. They have a series of articles which sort of explaind what had to be done to fit the engine. It wasnt real descriptive but it gives the basic outline on what had to be done.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............
