You wouldn't need a sharp built kit, It should go straight in, you might need to modify the tinware around the back as they are slightly
different.
(I have a 73/74 gearbox in a 59)

Hi
Rather than using a Sharpbuilt fan etc, whynot fit the engine aby panels from a later bus and use all the stock fan & housing etc? You will also
need to fab a centre trans mount.

This is Jake Raby's thoughts on converting from a T1 to a TIV engine:

yeah you do have to use a fly wheel that is either 210mm or 215mm (Better) as the 228mm will not fit with out grinding away most of the supporting
martial, but if you are using a Type 4 Box, no worries.
