Read the sticky first, it has the exact info you are looking for....but no, your v6 trans does not mate to the V8.

1) A BAG of Money
2) More skill than you have
3) More money

All kidding aside.....this topic has been covered a million times here. A 6 to 8 swap requires substantial engine management upgrades, usually a transmission swap, and a slew of other troublesome upgrades.

Welcome aboard btw....
