Assuming that you are serious, I'll say that I haven't done it myself, but I have seen tractors with V-8's in them.
The thing you have to consider is the relatively high RPM's that the V-8 has to run at. That would make the M a very fast tractor, too fast for even marginal safety. The ones I've seen used an auxiliary transmission behind the V-8 to slow the M transmission's input shaft speed to something reasonable.
BTW, the V-8 conversions I've seen were just for conversation pieces at shows, they had no practical usefulness.
