Well, they'll both bolt up to the engine, if you swap the entire tranny.

Things to make sure of first:

clutch fitment (input shafts could be different)
propshaft length (Nate put a locker in his 90Q, had to swap driveshafts
as well)
half shaft mounting/length, perhaps
and most importantly, final drive ratios - if they don't match you'll
also need the rear diff from the torsen car
Gearshift linkage will probably have to be swapped and require a little
custom fitting.
