Yeah, 400bhp ain't exactly sluggish! Sounds like a fun project. How common are the engines?

Hopefully AWD
That's going to be an interesting packaging exercise. On the Subaru 4WD gearboxes the output shafts for the front wheels are just behind the bellhousing, so the entire engine is in front of the front axle line. A 4.6 litre OHV V8 is going to be both longer and taller than a flat 4 by a considerable margin.

Hopefully AWD and I'd like to keep the engine as stock as possible.
A stock 1UR with a good exhaust and intake should make about 400bhp though so I think that should do nicely! They make 388bhp in the LS460 and the exhaust is supposed to be extremely restrictive to keep it quiet and refined so it doesn't take much to open it up.
Ideally I want it to be super reliable and usable while still being able to move!
