Differences between V6 and V8 T5

Is there a difference between the T5 from a V6 thirdgen and a V8? Also, is the gearbox on a Mustang T5 the same as a thirdgen? I.E: could I take a mustang T5 gearbox, bolt a thirdgen bellhousing and tailshaft to it and use it? What about a 4 cylinder fox body mustang T5? Is there any other car I can pull one from? Nissan Z car?

PS

Oh I almost forgot, Is a V6 T5 bellhousing and tailshaft the same as a V8? I posted on stangnet and they say it is possible to take a V8 mustang T5 gearbox and use an f-body bellhousing and tailshaft and it will bolt in. There are alot of T5s for sale cheap on their classifieds, this is why I ask.

the cases on the ford mustang, ranger and camaro/firebird are diffrent but the gears are interchangbel (sp?) the V6/V8 trannys are identical with the excption of the gear ratios wich is in the FAQ or tech area of this website also there is a diffrence between world class and non world class transmissions, I'm not sure what it is 'cause I'v had both apart and I diden't see anything diffrent, everyone says the WC has a higher HP capicity.

It's the torque capacity. Non WC is rated at 300ft-lbs and the WC is rated at 330ft-lbs. 88 and up V8 F-bodies got them.

P.S. Dont bother with a V6 T-5 because it will just go boom! behind a midly modified V8
