V8's in any sports car used to be a real passion of mine. My favorites are Sunbeam Tigers and TVR 3000M's/Taimars with 302 Fords replaceing the 6's.
I've seen tons of conversions. Common ones are TR6's, Healeys, MGB's, 240/260Z's, and lately Miata's. Strangest one was a MG Midget with a 350 in it.
Most turn out to be backyard conversions that never really get done right. It takes time and money to get it right.
I switched to 4x4's and replaced the 302 in my early bronco to a 5.0L with fuel injection. Not a direct swap but it is way better than original.
