If this is your preferred engine then it's all about a gearbox.
You need to find a rear wheel drive gearbox that is light and will compliment you lack of power with ratios that will get you off the line but also give you economical and usable 5th gear.
Bellhousings can be adapted usually with a spacer that has bolt hole that mate with the engine and the box.
Flywheels can be drilled to take full clutch kits or you search the manufacturers to find a plate that is the right diameter for the cover and also has the right spline for the gearbox input shaft.
Anything can be engineered but is it really worth it?
Having built and been involved with many kit builds I would not fixate on an engine then try and make it fit at any cost, smaller engines often return less mpg on the road than bigger ones driven reasonably.
You can fit any Ford engine from 1100 crossflow to 2.0L Zetec straight on to a Ford MT75 or Type 9, easily for little cost.
