Yes youll need the UC 6cyl or Starfire 4 crossmember (not V8 as there is no such thing).
What box is in it now? If its a manual itll be an MC6 which you can use behind a 6cyl.
If its a manual itll have a 3.9:1 diff which you dont really want. If its an auto itll be a 3.36 which will be OK.
Youll need a 6cyl tailshaft as from memory the box has to be moved backwards so your existing shaft will be too long.
I dont think you can get away without moving the shifter location with a manual.
