Use the 2.5 box/prop/diff and you will be fine

Yes it will go in. No, the gearbox isn't the same (different ratios), & the diff probably won't be an ideal ratio but would do the job at least temporarily. Alternatively if you meant will the ones from the touring go into the cab ok, yes they'll be fine.
Another thing to consider is which version of the m20 is in the convertible - although I'm not even sure if they made one with motronic 1.1?
Essentially it's a straightforward swap though. How's that for a slightly longer post?
