Been doin alot of research lately on converting my EL xr8 to manual. Now seems I can't find a conversion anywhere and Eseries V8 gearboxs pop up once every 6months, I've been trying to find other ways. I read somewhere that a couple of people have used 289 bellhousings with an i6 box, just hoping if someone can tell me if the bellhousing is slightly smaller to compensate for the i6 boxs input shaft being shorter? An is it possible? Cheers for anyone's helps
