Gearbox

Hello
Following a long shot but here goes . After having several subaru's I have decided to try and use a ej22 or 33 engine in a sand buggy I am building . I need to mate this enging to a conventional front wheel drive gearbox ( pref auto ).
I was readig a site that was saying the gearbox has a few problems and that they were the same as the nissan pathfinder ( that I new ) but also the mazda mpv . This is a front engined gearbox that may work for me .
Thus the question is this , would the ej33 bolt up to a mazda mpv gearbox ? Or can I take a bellhousing off a svx box and bolt that to a mpv box ?
Has anyone heard of the ej33 been bolted to any other type of gearbox ?
Thanks
Monty
