[V8] 5-speed swap stuff FS

[Ron Wainwright]

I know Derek... he's a great guy & does quality work.... just look @ his A6 4.2 Mit 6gang... it's to drool on!!!

 The 20vt trans would be the best... if you couldn't find a true V8 trans.
 It'll handle more HP & TQ than you could throw @ it.
 While the V8 trans is a mix of 016 parts & 01e parts & has an external trans cooler.. while the 200 20vt trans doesn't. The 20vt trans all so has the correct final gearing.

 The only things I didn't see Karl mention haveing are the trans tunell & the drive shaft... which you'll need.
