If you had won the lotto?
A random thought came to me. We all know that the Mustang engine is not the best V8 in the world but due to circumstances MGR bought it. I do appreciate that the space in the engine bay is limited and that is one of the reasons why they choose it.
However if you won the lotto and you could afford to be very extravagant with it what other V8 would you put in the 75/zt? |

best v8
If hienikin made a v8, it would be a lexus sorra v8 265bhp.
the smoothest & most reliable v8 in the world. probably the best 4.0 v8 in the world. correction. it is the best. |

I have to disagree, just looked at the best engine awards and it isn't mentioned, anywhere. I will stick with the S65B40.

Lotto
I guess I am bending the conversation away from the Clarkson POWERRRR thread, but if I won serious money in the lottery, I would be commissioning a recreation of the R75 Coupe
