Been done, you need the bell from a V8 3rd gen and you can use a clutch from some odd ball chevy truck to mate the V6 splined input shaft to a V8 sized flywheel/pressure plate.

You can also send the old V6 clutch plate in and have the V8 disc riveted to it.

I read this in a post some time ago and am looking for it now cause I have the chance to piece this together.

Possible, yes. Recommended? no. The V8 T5 is a glass jaw mated to a mild V8. The V6 version is just asking for trouble.
