[V8] 5000tq gearbox in a V8Q?

[Tony and Lillie]

>From what I've heard and read(sorry, no personal experience) they are not as 
tough as the UrS4 or 016's. I've personally only seen one blown up. No idea 
what he did to it, though.

On the final drive subject, if you switch the final drive at the rear, you 
won't have the TORSEN diff, but you would have a locker. Like Ingo said, you 
will have to find a non-turbo (5000, 100, or 4000) or 20V Turbo if you want 
to still have the 4:11 final drive. I believe the V6 cars also have 4:11's, 
but I'm not 100% sure.
