<< Located a junk yard in Germany that has a 4.2 V8 and 6 Speed gearbox
 (the rest of the car as well) for a 94 V8 exclusive (stretched wheelbase
 V8).
 OK V8 fans, is this a swap that can be done easily (easily is all
 relative)?
 Any euro V8 stick owners in the audience?
 Price is a steep 7000 DM + shipping.
 Any comments appreciated.

Paul,

     You'll have to get more than the engine and gearbox:

Rear diff
CV shafts
Front end 
ABS system
subframe
Floor pan
and a few other items.
These parts mentioned above are all different on the US 5spds versus
Automatics.
