Actually I think you can but you'll have to shim the hell out of the motor mount.

I have a pullstart mounted in my MBX5T. You will need the mounts from the standard kit. You can file down the mounts to fit on an engine, and then you will need washers under front two mounting holes. If you decide to do this lmk and I can get you more info. Btw, its a Picco .28 pullstart that I have mounted in my 5T.
Get a starterbox and don't worry about the headaches of trying to fit a pullstart engine in a high end kit. You'll never having to worry about broken pullstarts or the frustration of starting your engine with one, and you will keep the CG lower with the standard mount.

It took me about 15 minutes to mount up my engine, and saved me a couple hundred dollars since I already had an engine.
