Hi yes the engine can be used with no problems, remove to flex plate from the auto engine, fit the flywheel as normal, you will have to fit a crank pilot bearing in the end of the crank, as the auto engine will not have one, also remove the kick down lingake from the injection pump, job done,

Or go the whole hog and drop the lot in, engine & box, you have any bits you may need for the conversion, and have an idle life :)
