MX-6 transmission

So recently I got a weird inclination. I thought about building a shifter cart (a dream of mine for some number of years). Then I thought I have a spare 12A. But with the FR design of the RX-7 it would come from it would be a cumbersome large and complex shifter cart... it would end up a car without a body and probably less structurally sound than just having an RX-7.

So when looking for a stronger clutch for my car I realized RX-7's use the same clutch as the MX-6 (at least the turbo transmission does). Then I thought why not put an MX-6 transmission on the rotary and make a rear engined rear drive cart (or more or less car).

Does the MX-6 transmission bolt up to the 12A engine????

no piston engine transmission will bolt to a rotary without some sort of adapter. altho i have seen, by way of the net, that it has been done to a honda civic. so anything is possible. so if u have the skills, go for it.
