Ah a good question!
It is.But that engine is sweet 9000+ RPM available!
Even with a mild tune it would be a pretty quick car.
I suspect it would have all the usual hang ups of modern tech and you would have a nightmare with all of the sensor inputs/outputs etc.
Probably not an easy engine to run on an aftermarket ECU either.
Don't the S65 motors have serious problems with the bearings (can't remember whether crankshaft or conrod)? It would be worth rebuilding a second-hand motor with the reliability upgrades, assuming there are any.
Or you could just use a reliable (if not so interesting) motor, like one of the LS series.

The V12's been done seen no reason you cant fit a V8 beemer.... Sure our friends in Germany have fitted one seeing as that engine would already have passed TUV regs... for Engine adapters ask Kennedy Engineering.. in fact with the lower torque level of a higher revving engine you might be able to fit say a Audi transaxle, defiantly allot cheaper..

What about one of the Lexus V8s? Supposedly very reliable and tuneable (apparently 6-700bhp without modifying the internals). Some of the USA sites list experience with the tuning.An LS400 is as cheap as chips.

if you want different, why not the ford coyote/miami/vodoo engines, bigger capacity than the S65 and 1UZ, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, 8000rpm, heaps of after market hot rod support
