[V8] V8 5 spd Conversion

[Kneale Brownson]

There's also been some V8 5speed wrecks that would be worth a salvage conversion.  I agree that an intact V8 should be kept that way.  I really hate to see the 200q20vs being destroyed just so the engine can go into some coupe.

With real ones out there, I'm not sure why anyone would consider
"making" one. Certainly time and money would was between building one
and making a real one right again.

I'm not sure the 5k tranny will mate with the V8 rear end, but maybe one from a 200q20v would. Ron has one of those for sale, I think.
