Default V8 swap into 2005 v6 stang

Ok So Ive searched and found nothing answering my specific question. I just picked up a 2005 v6 stang I got it pretty cheap because the engine in it is junk the girl who owned it never changed her oil, it runs like crap andbarely makes any oil pressure.Instead of swapping in a modular v8 I want to swap in a 408 stroker and use a tremec t56 transmission. Do you know of any aftermarket bellhousings that are made to mate a t56 to a 408 (351w).

I got it for 7500 dollars. Other than the engine its in good shape. She said she was gonna use the money as a down payment on a 3 series bmw. I hope she changes her oil in that car because bmw engines are alot more expensive to replace than ford engines. Lol @ civic...fwd sucks, theres some dude who lives down the street from me who put 10,000 dollars into his civic and it only made 215 ft lbs of tq haha but he thinks its the fastest car on the planet.
