I am putting a rebuilt 140 into my '61 rampy. I think you will have to spend some time removing the shrouds from the old motor and cutting them to fit the heads, also make a small sheet metal patch to make the big oil cooler fit inside the shrouds.
You must modify the rear shroud where they had the cutout for the oil filler tube.
 Another thing I did was to hinge the engine cover so that it gives easy access to the motor.
I bought 4 small chrome air cleaners from pep boys and fit them to the carbs using a neoprene reducer & gear clamps from a plumbing supply shop. You will have to file/grind away the nubs at the top of the carb air horns so that they seal.
I converted the PVC system to a road draft tube like the original 1961 motor had.
mine is a 4 - speed, what tranny do you have?
