Would an RX8 bellhousing bolt right up to the Miata 6 spd tranny?

I have an FC race car (BP13b).
I have a broken RX8 6 spd tranny.
I have been looking around for another but all are pretty expenssive.
A miata 6 speed looks the same and has the same gears and are about half the price.
Could it be possible that the RX8 bellhousing will bolt right up to the Miata tranny?
If this is possible I could ave a lot of $$

I would say that even if it does in short order you'll have a broken Miata tranny.

I didn't break the tranny. I got it broken.
A bridge port 13B wont break a tranny.
You need about 250+hp to break one.

Hp doesn't break trannys, it's abuse, torque, and lots of traction that do that.
