The golf VW did with the mid mounted lambo V10 was pretty mad (anyone remember it on top gear?), reckon with proper development it could of been awesome. Anyone remember squints pick up with 2 engines? Really liked that car, was bonkers for its day I reckon. There are V8 bolt in kits for focuses in the states.

Seen a side on pic of that but I'd like to see some engine bay pics.
It's a very different conversion but I can't understand why you would fwd it,the diesel lump will bolt to a type 9 box as there were plenty sierra td taxis back in the day.
