If the MQ motor was an L28 it will bolt straight up. If a disel or P40 just source an L28 bellhousing, clutch fork and thrust brg carrier.

The engine will be on a fair lean thats all. I have seen it done, just make up some new engine mounts and drop it in. If your going to run a carby might need to level up the carby. Its and ok conversion, i would say it would be ok in the SWB when your on a tight buget.

Hope this helps
