I think your main problem will be sump related.
Could end up being a lot of messing but if you are handy with tools/alloy welding and such it won't be too much of a bother.
The RX8's gearing/ratio's lead to a bit more of a ball ache with diff's and stuff don't they or am I thinking of something else?
The Rx8 is low geared as the rotary spins to high revs but changing diff ratios brings that back....I think I saw someone saying that a cossie lump is 120 mph in sixth at 7000 rpm but super short gearing which can be useful. I would lob in a T5 if that doesn't suit.
