V6 tranny compatible with V8?
No, I don't need a V6 compatible transvestite.
I'm just wondering if I could use a V8 Manual trans on a V6 motor. I found a good price for one brand new ($700) and I don't want it laying around the shop for a long time before I put my V8 in.
Also, when I get my V8 (5.4L SVT ) will the stock V8 trans be able to handle that power?

Well if its a manual it is possible it will work, the only problem I forsee is you will have to swtich the bell housing off of your V6 Trans to the V8 Trans.
As for going from a Auto to Manual, there are many people who have dont it, I dont think its to hard but I would leave it to a professional, plus you will have to reprogram your comp.
I dont think that a stock GT trans will hold and SVT motor first I dont know if it will fit, second. That thing will proably bust in a matter of weeks or a few trips to the track if you are lucky

Haha, I already knew the answer.
The SVT motor will fit, its the new 2008 edition. I guess I'm gonna have to get a new Tremtec trans, damnit I didn't feel like spending $2500 on top of the $15G of the engine. Well I guess for a race car you get what you pay for.

False information above, the GT does not use the T-5 manual tranny. However, both v6 and GT use the same auto tranny, the 5R55S, with just a different input shaft. Someone over on the other forum has done a TR3650 swap into the v6, but it requires some custom adapting that said person has designed.
