    engine crossmember is a straight swap.

    with the gearbox, you can use the stock RA40 xmember. just turn it around (curving toward rear) and turn the rubber mount around.

    RA40's have 2 gearbox mounting positions, the rear position allows you to bolt up the w58 withouht any mods at all, just do the things mentioned above

    diff mounts are spaced further apart on the RA40 compared to the 23/28
