Possible. Jaguar did.

And Jensen... far easier to buy a slushbox in from a country that
used them in the vast majority of vehicles, I suppose. Shame it

Europe!
The Jensen Innterceptor used Mopar power-train - engine and tranny.

ANd the Americans have imported a LOT of Euro manual gearboxes. Lots
of ZF bockes in recent American tin.
