    You can put any V8 you want in it. Getting it engineered and legal will be the interesting bit. 5 Litre conversion would be the easiest, but even easier (and probably cheaper) than that would be to buy something that already has an 8 in it.

    if ur planning on stroking later,most would suggest a VT S1 5L,which is also found in series 3 V8 VS stato and ute. I think its due the the roller cam in them. Anything else im not sure on. Any VN-VT S1 V8 will be a fine fit. LS series V8s can be put in,a few places sell kits for the job but expect to pay big bucks.
