You can use a V6 unit, but will need a different clutchplate (advance adapters) to compensate for the differences in input shafts.
But i think the gears of the v6 unit are to steep to use with a 3.23 rear axle.
As the T-5 is very rare here in Holland i am going to put a v6 unit in a c4 corvette, but it has a 2.59 rear axle
