if you remove the Type4 then fit the T1 style engine it'll all fit up no problems, bar the rear brace bar, you'll need one to suit the T1 style mountings, also, when your buying the engine make sure you get a 'universal' case to suit the later brace bar, on all bay's because if they send it with a early re-con'd case it may not have the mounts for a bay.
