auto to manual gearbox

[blueslug]

This may sound like a silly question but my son wants to know if its poss to put a manual gearbox out of a VT V8 on and into a VR V6 engine which has a auto in it. If so what are the implications etc ?

would be extremely hard as the VT has a hydralic clutch among other things & the components not including the box that you will need are as expensive as a full T5 conversion kit.

but then again the T56 from VT is stronger

You would need a modified flywheel for a start as the crankshafts are different on the buick V6. I think you will find castlemaine rod shop will have what you need.
