If its just a adaptor plate then its not really much of a job for any machinist.
If its a fully custom bellhousing then I expect it will be a little bit more tricky and expensive.
My mates cossy transit ran a adaptor plate on the block to allow a transit gearbox to fit

The homemade 3" offset lightweight flywheel took a week to make in the lathe though
The car has killed many a scooby scalp out on the stages Al, so that would have been a backward step
And its still running, dosnt chew gearboxes or blow engines to bits for fun

I used P20 tool steel

We use it a lot at work but it is a PITA to machine and took me plenty of hours to make
Engine to gearbox adaptor is the easy bit "IF" you have accurate dimensions to work from
