RE: 1967 mustang
I was looking at buying a v6 and sticking a v8 in it but was told its very complicated that almost the whole underbody has to be changed. If i were you id keep the v6 and if u want a v8 buy one selling the v6 if you want to

Your best bet is to buy a crate motor (already built), unless you enjoy working and learning about building your own motor.
Now, the in-line 6s from what I hear aren't that bad. They produce great torque and if you have the right gearing and transmission you can beat stock V8s. Up to you, you could even try and make a project of it and see what kind of HP you can get out of the 6.
