If your not dead set on using a V8 then you could use a subaru flat 4 or flat 6 with its tranny and block out the rear drive. These engines are really short front to back but might be a little wide depending on your design constraints.

im thinking the same as you. im designing my car now its a cross between a pagani zonda, noble m15, ferrari 360, and a super touring car it touchs the zonda and super touring car the most i was thinking of using the 572 chevy big block but it would have had to much power so im dropping it to 600hp im just having trouble finding the engine. im no mechanic but im looking into it suspensions etc you know the drill. if anyone could help me in explaining the parts needed i have the money to dip in but im just not sure how this works btw 800 thats gonna be a beast. good luck who knows we might end up producing our cars in the future

A 572 probably isn't the best choice for something in the realm of a 'Pagani Zonda'. You'd be better off going with an LS7 if you have money to dip into.
