My mate has a bombed VK 5L that he wants to drop into his HZ kinga (presently a 6cyl cloumn 3 -speed)

In keeping with the column shift he wants to drop the V8 in and put an M15 3 -speed behind it.

So.... firstly is this a good idea in terms of strength of the box, clutch etc and so on?

and secondly, ive found an M15 that he wants me to buy for him. Its bolted to a 253 atm. Is there anyway of idenifying that its actually and M15 for and 8 rather than a 3 speed 6 banger special?
