People have been shoehorning huge motors into small cars for decades. This can be done, and with some decent fabrication skills and and a knowledgeable tuner, probably a lot cheaper than people think. As the link I provided states, Manhart did it using almost exclusively factory BMW parts. Get access to an M5 that's been totaled in a rear end collision and cannibalize most of your parts right there.
+1, and I'm sure you can make a pretty penny on your S65 V8, it's probably more desirable than the S85 V10 to many people especially big tuning companies and people that have a blown engine outside of warranty!
