Difference between v6 and v8 t5 gearbox

[FlamingPyro]

Can i put a V8 bell housing on a V6 transmission to fix the bolt pattern problem or does it have a different size input shaft?

 

[shanhsv]

not sure about the input shaft but u can fit them. most fit the v8 t5 onto a v6 since the v8 box is stronger

As far as I know the input shaft is a different length on v8 and v6 boxes. Common to fit the V8 bell housing on V6's though.

From what I have heard if you shorten the v6 input shaft it should work with the V8.

I believe the V8 has a different bolt pattern on casing than a V6 box and therefore the V8 bell housing won't simply bolt onto a V6 box. See

I think thats at the block side not the transmission side

Immortalitys diagram is for bellhousing bolting to the t5 box.

But according to the above diagram, the V8 Commodore VR is diagram A, as is the V6 T5 Commodore.

These would work right?

 

[Immortality]

Correct, only a VR V8 T5 box would bolt up to a V6 Bell housing.
