16231448 is a vs v6, and the vs v8 manual was the last that still used the '808 pcm, so it would not be an easy swap. Your best bet would be to get an 808 and loom from a vn, then modify the v6 memcal to make it a v8 one, and run factory vs v8 code, or $12p on it if you wish to get in to tuning (and then maybe the realtime kit etc etc.). You would also need to install an SXR board in the pcm so that it can talk on the vehicle bus https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=398
