If 1 box = 3 inches, and the length in the scale drawing is 8 boxes, then the length in the scale drawing is 8 * 3 = <<8*3=24>>24 inches.
To convert the scale to 1 box = 6 inches, we need to double the length in inches.
Therefore, the length in the new scale drawing will be 24/2 = <<24/2=12>>12 inches.
Since 1 box in the new scale is equal to 6 inches, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 12/6 = <<12/6=2>>2 boxes. Answer: \boxed{2}.
