You ought to be able to unbolt the motor and drop the new one right in. The
transmission shouldn't be an issue. You can put the auto on eBay when you
are done harvesting the motor ...

due to the mass of the torque convertor. I think the bolts that hold it
on may be single use. You could try running it as a lightweight flywheel
maybe!
