A V8 will NOT FIT unless you want to rearrange all of the drive train and do SERIOUS modification of the bodywork. The V8 is an in-line engine - all of the Hippoo engines are transverse.
The best options are either to convert to a TD4 diesel or to fit a Rover T220 Turbo lump - this will fit the standard PG1 box with only minor modification and would still give 4wd if necessary - or else go 2wd
.
Doa search - its been covered before.

Really? Do ya think so?
Anyway, maybe he does want to do all that - Maybe even fit a second V8 in the boot and extend the length long enough to fit a third axle and......

why do that, is it better than the 1.8? more reliable???
dont do it!!!!!!
the KV6 is (almost) as prone to HGF as the 1.8 - the easiest and most reliable upgrade would be the Rover 220 Turbo lump - It fits onto a PG1 box (with minor mods) and would be more reliable and more powerful.
Unless you wanted to go the TD4 route.
