[V8] V8 5 spd Conversion

[Tony and Lillie]

All V8's have a 4.11:1 Torsen rear end. Only the 100/200 20V's and V8's have 
the Torsen and 4.11:1 Center diff in the type 44 chassis.

The turbo 10V cars have a 3.89:1 center, open with locker in 5000's, torsen 
in 200's. The 4000Q has an open 4.11:1 center also, but the gearing is not 
as well suited to the V8 output in a daily driver, IMO. 5th redlines (6500 
at about 120mph in a 4000Q.
