Don't know much about gear boxes but I know that the 8v box is weaker then the 16v box, so I'd say your best bet would be to source a 16v box.

8v is a rod change box with a cable clutch, 16v is a cable change with a hydraulic clutch...

Stick with the 16v box, swapping to an 8v box is a backward step.

I understand that you can fit a 6 speed 02J Gearbox on if you can find one.
