Use a Bell housing from a SR Auto or CVT. Then make an adaptor plate to fit the RWD tranny you want to use.
You do not need to strip the tranny apart to take the bell housing off like a manual tranny.
I have sold heaps of those bell housing to local guys here in Australia for RWD applications. Once the adaptor plate is made you can machine or cut away the remaining of the bell housing where the rear engine mount bracket bolt up to the FWD bell housing.
