Gives you a 4.0 V8 with 250+bhp easily and is surprisingly economical, even in it's original host car.

Too easy. It’s a cracking engine - I saw a build where one went into a late 70’s Camry estate (keeping it in the family) and someone (in Aus or NZ) put one in an Avenger estate.
The Yamaha/Volvo V8 appeals because of the family connection I guess.
