I think a 40hp is light enough that it will not need the adapter maybe?

How do you plan on mounting it without the (or a) adapter plate? _________________ Brutis Patches Izabich: 1970 VW Transporter - 1776cc DP

Going into a 73. Bug Guys have been hanging engines off 002's for years. Should not be a problem, as long as your trans has the two mounting ears on the belhousing.
If the Trans has the 68-73 5:37 ring and pinion (R&P) the gearing will work.
But if it is the later 74-79 4:86 R&P the gears will be a little tall for the 40hp.
