The M410 should go in nicely if you use an M40 bell housing. This is a nice tranny, stronger bearings, lower final gear, 0.58:1, IIRC. It is a nice conversion to a built B20 in a 142. You will need some extra ummph from that B20 to push it. I would also reccomend using the 164 driveshaft also. The stock 140 shaft won't bolt up to the flange unless you've got the 2 1/2 in U-joints. You can change the flange from any M40 to get the smaller shaft to bolt-up.
I got a hold of an M410 from a '69 164 incl shaft and crossmember for $50 from the paper. I put it in a race bred '68 144s that had 200 hp and it flew for 18 yrs and 280k miles without problems.
Good Luck!
