The only modern transverse V8s I'm aware of are the Cadillac Northstar and Olds Aurora. Both would require more (special) work than a traditional RWD conversion. Even the Mother's V6 FWD conversion took a lot of work. A few quick measurements will show that any V8 is bigger than the V6, so a set of mounts and a transaxle adapter is almost certainly not viable. Then there is the issue of a transaxle that could hold the added power. While I'm sure we would all like more power, this is in the realm of not cost-effictive. The people that do this sort of thing are doing it to be the first or 'special'.
