Default Fitting a non overdrive gearbox to a 405

Is it a practical proposition to fit a standard non overdrive gearbox into a 405, what snags would we encounter and what extra parts would we need.
I am looking at a car which has been robbed of its engine and box, I have considered the alternative engine and box option but I also have a spare 85C engine and box which at least would keep it all Bristol.
Geoff.
