    Default Gear box

    Well I was talking with someone and he reckons it wouldn't be that hard to make a vn v6 gear box fit a vn v8 engine? is that true? if so how much would would be required?

    the vl was the last to use a different g/box from the 8 to the 6 because the engines were so different, kinda like the 4l60e is used in like a vs v6 when they are also used behind the ls1!
