Gearbox

Hi.
Can anybody help me.
I,m building a velocity with a Renault 21 turbo engine and i want to connect this wit a ford sierra gearbox.
I want to use the orginal bellhousing from the renault gearbox and make the connection to the ford gearbox.
I have contacted Merv's Gearbox adaptors but they can't help me.
Anybody a solution?
I'm Sorry for my bad Englisch I,m from Holland.

1)FAIRLY EASY - Re-drill the Renault bellhousing to suit, enlarging the centre location hole as necessary.
2)MODERATELY DIFFICULT - Make an adaptor plate from ali, use countersunk set screws to attach it to the Ford 'box and bolt the Renault motor to the adaptor plate.
3) DRASTIC - Assuming similar metals, weld the bellhousing to the 'box!

Thanks.
Maby i will cutt the bellhousing from the Ford in half.
Make a adaptor plate and welded on the piece from ford.(Then i can use the orginal holes)
Then connect the bellhousing from renault with bolts to the adaptor plate.
Wanted to use the orginal bellhoussing from Renault for my Hydraulic clutch and the starter(sits on the left side).
