I have heard tell of/seen pictures of, slipping a V-8 into one. I'm not sure how they handled the flywheel/clutch situation. May of just lengthened the frame rails, used the clutch assembly on the V-8, and just ran a shaft through an empty M bell housing. I really don't know what they did. Just guessing that would be easier than trying to fabricate a bell housing or an adapter, and trying to use the M flywheel and clutch assembly.
I don't know about being a candidate for a hot rod. To much difference between 4th and 5th gear in an M. Alot of RPM's would likely just make 4th gear equivalent to 5th. And 5th gear, a gear you'd just want to stay out of. I wouldn't be scared to take an M down the road at 20 to 25 MPH (10 MPH over thier top speed). But if you are thinking of speeds over 30 MPH, I would sure do something different than converting an M into a hot rod. I'd go to the junk yard, and find an old car or truck body and chasis. Put your rebuilt V-8 in that. Go down the road as fast as you want with your V-8, and have no worries.
Alot of vehicles parked in junkyards with only engine or transmission problems.
