irishnut 297 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 is the gearbox auto or manual. if its auto, then the valve block on the box is different, if its manual, then stick in the fourtrak 2.8td, its an amazing engine, it will fit to the box with an adaptor plate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
