You have to get another tranny from a V8.

Bellhousings on the automatics are integral and you must change the entire transmission. The bellhousing for a manual transmission bolts on, but if you put the v6 transmission behind the torque of a v8 you will likely grenade it in short order.

if you're a smart driver, you can make the v6 tranny live behind a v8.
