[V8] 5-speed swap stuff FS

[Karl D. Middlebrooks]

I'll go out to the storage unit and double-check, but I don't think I got 
the transmission tunnel. The other thing needed that Derek didn't have at 
the time (and that's still missing) is a flywheel.

I'll also go back through my other email account and check the tranny spec. 
I do believe that it came out of the 200 20vt, but I'll verify that.
