Putting a 6.5 or 7 litre Chev V8 diesel into a Nissan Patrol or Toyota Landcruiser 4WD is a pretty common conversion here, so finding the conversion kit to suit the 5 speed or auto gearboxes and drive trains from these cars would be pretty easy and they are pretty heavy duty so there's no need to worry about that - check out 'Marks Adaptors'http://www.marks4wd.com/products/engine-trans-conversions/toyota/landcruiser/lc-FJ80CHEVV8diesel.html who are based in Melbourne as they may have something 'off the shelf'.
A V12 in a Chevy is one thing but the builder of that car also put a V12 Merlin into a Packard chassis - the Warman Special.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AMJJjeqX1o
This is one seriously nice piece of work - but then Ray's like that (and a nice bloke as well).
