Engine change

[tigger]

Can anyone advise me. Can an engine from a manual 740 be put onto an auto
gearbox. if so what would need changing.
I've been told that the cranks are different but I don't no if this is true.
Any reply would be much appreciated if only to say it can't be done.
Thanks in advance

I've swapped a couple transmissions in 740's from auto to manual and the
only thing I had to change was the flywheel, the newest was '87 though, but
I don't think anything ever changed internally to the engine.
