Probably have to fabricate something to hang the mufflers.  But, the head interface is the same.

I assume you mean the stock 4 into 4.

Expect to change the carb jetting.

Rear brake pedal wont clear the exhaust unless you heavily modify it with an angle gringer and welder,
If its a good condition original Honda 4 into 4 77/78 system sell it on ebay for a fortune as they are discontinued then buy the proper one
