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.

The Pitch of the teeth on the layshafts is different between the BJ and the FJ, change the whole G/Box
