you should be able to just use the same tranny, cause 3.8 and v8 have the same tranny bolt pattern.
rear end is also the same, except yours is probably just a one wheeler. look for G80 in the option codes to see if it has a posi.
as for wiring, i am not sure as i havent had the luxury of tinkering with a 4th gen yet.
