6 cyl t5 can be used behind v8 if you use a specific dellow bellhousing to bring the box closer to the block but you need to lengthen your tailshaft. Or you can get the input shaft lengthened.

Commydoor S5 is adjustable. Need to drop the pan each time to adjust them. Has a Commy S5 in mine at the moment and at the next Auto service it will be coming out.

But to answer the question, no...Commodore v6 & v8 input shaft lengths are different to both ford boxes and (I believe) also different to each other.

Assuming this is for your ED xr6, you'll need any E series 6 cylinder box. Later ones are better boxes (and most likely lower kms), but in reality buyer beware no matter what box you get.
