I imagine it would not be too much engineering involved to get the motor in
there.

You can get 901 (the model number, not the car number) tranny's rebuilt, but
not "off the shelf" like bug tranies.   There is also a 915 tranny, which is
almost the same, except 1st is at the top left of the H, not at the bottom left.
