    No, they dont fit, front of the box is different.  I mucked around with a spacer etc to try and get one to fit, but in the end just got a 2ltr auto and fitted it and saved myself the heartache.
     
    I have a good 2 ltr c3 auto if you need one, $100
     
    Cheers

    Might be worth getting a freight quote through www.e-go.com - I've used them fro wheels to sill panels to complete diff assemblies - very cheap
