Yes you will need to make up engine mounts. You will also need to modify the bulkhead, particularly around the footwells to make room for the rear of the cylinder heads.

it would be very expensive on rego and fuel, if you want to run a v8 many americans have put v8's into landrovers i'll see if i can find some links for you anyway.
