That 4speed manual of the V6 probably wouldn't last too long behind the V8... I'd assume you'd need a v8 bellhousing & clutch to make it work.

No, V6 and V8 transmissions are not interchangeable.

I didn't think they could.... I know automatic's definately don't, and I always wondered about the manuals. Thanks!

As far as the 5 speeds go, you can use a V6 trans on a V8 engine or the other way around. However, you have to swap the bellhousing, get a "custom" clutch, and a few other little things. I can't speak for the 4speeds though.
