Since I have the original motor in the garage, I'll fit just the V8 box and see for sure.
I am not sure who you are talking to. Me? If so read on.
The main filter housing is the same size for the six and the eight. The difference is in the thickness, some 3/8" to 1/2" more in the one that will interfere with the hood liner quite hard on the Crossfire.
The nose piece on the V8 is too long as it is one cylinder longer, as evidenced by that section added which matches each of the three sections on the main cover. The V6 version lacks that extension and clips on to the existing pin on the Crossfire engine, the same pin used by the OEM engine cover. Also the oil filler hole in the V8 version does not match up to the V6.
I had a lot of frustration when doing this mod, sellers substituted parts because they thought that as the parts looked alike they were the same and shipped another part number instead of what I ordered. One supplier sent the correct parts and told me to keep what they had sent in error. I took that set and another main cover someone sent in error to the dump. What a waste, one set was brand new looking, but I could not give it away on eBay.
