WC is supposed to be a lot stronger. No Don't put a V6 tranny in a V8 car. It will not handle it. It's only a matter of time before it gives up.

well, yes and no. The tranny will bolt right up to the v8 bell housing, but the splines are diffrent on the imput shaft. Just get a clutch disk for a v6, and you will be fine.
I found out that this is what someone did on my 85, but i was lucky that i was replacing the v6 tranny with a v8 tranny, and the clutch at the same time.
i didnt even realize they were diffrent untill i found the old clutch layin around and started to play with it, and my clutch alignment tool. go figure.
