I had Wilkinson install a Ford GT motor in mine. Height and width were bigger issues than the length though the length was an issue too because of the supercharger.   The engine is a dry sump and was lowered three inches and the decklid raised 3 inches. Wheel wells were modified and countless installs and reinstalls.  Fuel tank replaced too.  Cooling lines rerouted and firewall modified for access to wider engine.

I think you are talking about a huge undertaking and if you can't do the work yourself, then cubic dollars.  Probably need the electronics and associated wiring.  Getting the computer to play with other systems and turn off outputs and inputs you don't use and not throw trouble codes.  Paint and prep for the engine compartment.  ZF  may have to be relocated/replaced and a custom/new clutch and flywheel plus bell housing adapter or custom bell house .  Perhaps you will want larger exhaust pipes and CV joints.  Will you need more cooling capacity?

 I wouldn't be surprised to see it cost 6 figures to get that V12 engine professionally installed and running,  Lots of fabrication to get things to fit and play nicely together!

 Then the "might as well" starts.

It sounds like a really cool project and I would love to see it and hear it.

I think it would sound amazing. It would b an awesome project that if I could I would be willing to undertake.
