You might think I'm crazy but couldn't this engine be used in a Mustang?

I just happened to stumble over this V8 engine series on the homepage of the Russian maker ZMZ - and I thought this might do as a cheap Mustang (or in other "older" American cars) engine replacement? Traditional construction, 4.25(260ci) and 4.67ltr (285ci) displacement - am I just nuts or could I be on to something?

If you did a lot of fab work you can get just about anything into any car. It's a question of whether it's worth it or not and in this case, probably not.
