The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Back from hiatus, looking for input, again

I went through Mart's thread again on his '33, wow, great stuff. I also went for a search to find info from someone who has done a 8B into an early V8 and didn't have much luck. Anyone have links they can share? I know this isn't the ideal situation I'm about to embark on, but I think it will work. I understand the crank pulley clearance issue along with water outlets to radiator, not to mention what will happen along the firewall.
I'm pretty excited to pick this powertrain up and start working with it. My plan is to check fitment first, then after that is sorted, go through and clean with a new gasket set.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
