The last time I checked into a V8 conversion I was:

1) Maligned considerably by traditionalists on this board (who cares)

2) Understood a 3.6 conversion to cost relatively the same price, which includes the engine (which I do care about).

3) I went with a simple 3.0 - which, though provided by Henry - has more than proven itself for the last three years.

V8s are nice, but providing the engineering of a 911, I don't think it's as much sacrilegious as it is in an engineering sense, incorrect. You'll have to modify a lot more to substantiate the engine for the car - bigger torsion bars, cutting up the front of the tub for the radiator, possibly transmission reinforcement - complications come to mind...
