It's been done before.

Keep in mind that the V6 uses a smaller clutch disc and a 4:1 1st gear ratio which is a tad low for a V8.

Oh yeah, you'll also need a V8 bellhousing, fork, and clutch/slave cylinder assembly.

summit actually sells a clutch for the swap

look for a clutch for a 2.8 to SBC swap for a chevy S10 with a T5

summit sells it

you can also ordered one from McLeod, like i did

14spline X 1 1/8" hub on a 10.4 disc is what you'll need to order
