Not straight off it wont. Needs some mods around where the gearbox cradle bolts to the crossmember.

It will bolt up to the original fittings but you'll need a mk3 or 5 casing which doesn;t use a cradle but front and rear mounts. you'll also need to drill a new hole either side where the roll bar plates mount up as one each side doesn't line up,
I know of someone years ago that fitted a series one roll bar assembly and retained the cradle but i never had a look how it was done!

IIRC the bar that joins the platesacross the front crossmember is cut and modified so it fits over the top of the cradle.
