No fear of him using the stock transmission, I believe that the bell housings are mounted permantly on these transmissions and there are no adaptor kits that I could find for that bolt pattern. Although I didn't look hard.

I believe that the easiest swap would be use a full sized pickup's running gear and sell the rest off.
The most fun would be use the running gear from a mildly tuned comaro or corvette.
