So how much exactly would an M45 engine swap cost? Is it possible?

true, im sure the engine alone is a lot by itself, then the fitting and relocating and tuning are probably the rest of your arms and legs. But at least I think the transmission should hold up rite?

oh, 1 more problem is gonna be weight distribution/suspension. wont the heavier front end make the car even more front heavy? Oh well, straight line acceleration should be amazing.

so long as the car uses racing slicks, otherwise the car will simply stay put and spin wheels on the street

I'm not sure it would be too negative an impact on weight distribution as I think the V8 is pretty light. Anyone know the actual weight? That car has got to be so fun to drive...
