It all seems a lot of work to fit a heavy V8 engine .
Why not look at fitting a light Rover V8 or Daimler 2.5 V8 ,
if they don't fit there would be plenty of compact V6 engines that would fit behind the original 406 front cross member .
or
Buy a V8 engined Bristol
Also think about some future owner who will want to convert it back to the original power plant and have to reverse all your mods .
