T140 motor swap

Sorry for the rookie question but time is tight and I don't have time to research this, but:

The motor for a '79 T140 will bolt right up in a '76, right?

Thanks.

The carburetors, intake manifolds, air boxes and air box inlet tubes are different. The crank case breather set up is also a bit different. Might present a problem. The engine mounts should all mount up correctly.
