Default AU V8 and I6 Trans Differences

Hey guys hoping there may some be some trans tech gurus on here.
Going to convert my au forte to an 8 soon and want to stay auto.
I dont really want to have to go buy a second hand trans, as i wont really know its condition and will probably need rebuilding which is going to be very costly!
What i do know is my trans is real good condition, been serviced, shifts well and has 168k on it.
Plan is to run about 3k stall, and have already got a massive trans cooler for it.
Whats the internal differences? if there is, any way i could i have my trans modded to handle a v8?
dont really know how the btr's work! as far as i know the valve body aint nothing like the old c4/c10 and cant have a shift kit put through to increase line pressure and handle that bit extra!

Different models too. 93LE and 97LE. Not sure of all the differences though, but I am sure that is researchable.

Edit: Just looked in the WS Manual - no obvious listing as to the differences - just one is for 6cyl and the oter is for 8cyl.

just dropped my car off to get the auto fitted, and i asked about the difference between v8 & i6 boxes, he said their same internally but the hi stall torque converter is the only difference between V8 & the i6
