If it's so, than:
You can adjust your gearbox to the engine only using special custom made transition (I don't know special world in English to describe thing I mean)
And answers to all other question are very similar, it can be done, but only with lot of modification, or some thing maybe even can't be done, I'm not very good at engine staff, and power you get form engine comparing with all the work you put in is just too disproportionate
So, I recommend to use some else Fiat engines, further details in link
