Could be wrong but with the short front clip on a 6 am not sure there is enough length for an 8 between the firewall and radiator. Since the Ultra has a different mount arrangement than a standard there may be some frame fabrication needed when trying to fit and bolt the Ultra. You would almost need to compare with a 23rd series with Ultra to see what the differences in that area might be to know what would be involved. Since the Ultra is a single rear mount might also need to figure some kind of stabilizers utilizing the side mounts on the engine to assist with the single front motor mount.
