yes it will fit but will sit at an angle, the same fitting an m20 box on an m52.
you will need to use the prop from the m20 though as the prop is a different length cira 100mm or something like that.

m40 prop? Not the m20 one?
Would be going into an auto if that makes any difference (not mine, I would leave the box attached to a decent engine!)

sorry got that backwards, (edited to stop confusion in future)
the m20 prop is what you need.
ah, i thought it was a manual,
but i'm sure the same applies, check the gear ratios though to be sure they are suitable, i presume they are
