Afraid not.

The LT77 from the Rangie will be the 'Longstick' version, which is (I guess) around 8-10" longer and will have different bell housing fittings.

You need a 4 cylinder LT77 to go back in there.

Just to qualify that... you could probably make it fit.. you might even be able to get an adaptor of some sort...   but it will involve a bit of fiddling.

If you get stuck... I've got a 4 cyl LT77 here for sale... but I'm in Dorset, so it's a bit of a trek.
