Not sure what you mean, the picture of the RWD transmission bellhousing is an exact match to the 1.6L and 2.0L engines.
Perhaps it's just because one is tilted compared to the other, but they are an exact match.
There are also some Saab Gearboxes that fit the 1.6L, 2.0L but they don't use the same mounts or gear change linkage so it would be a lot of work.
There are other gearboxes.... such as as the Getrag 282 which was put on the 2.0L 8V turbo ( C20GET )
Oddly enough the Getrag 282 has a similar pattern to that of the Getrag F40, GM simply made an adapter plate to make it work.... but again just like with the Saab engines/gearboxes there would be some work involved in making it work.
I actually have that adapter plate around somewhere as I had purchased an 87 Sunbird GT turbo for the sole purpose of removing the C20GET to install in my Lanos ( which I've yet to do )
