yes, you can. if lengths are right on the rear shift rod/shaft .. then it's a bolt-in. the 5 speed shift box will work with the 4 speed.. or worst case, run it without the shift box under the shifter for a while.

so as long as the distance to the shifter on the rear rod is the same, ....it'll work fine. You'd need the right 4 speed front trans mount of course. Scott www.turbovans.com
