    Weight would be a problem with a v8 or v10 it has been done before with Audi v8 see Woodsport, but Paul found it a hand full trying to get the power down and there was extensive body work mods, to fit it had to go north south not transverse cut the bulkhead and rear boot out then replace, made the inside very small.
    You could get round this with the newer gearbox that puts the drive shaft through the fly wheel.
    I've gone with the 2gr v6 325bhp with gouty exhausts and now we are fitting sc and standalone to get more out of them, all depends on your time money and skill set and what your end goal is.
