The car has a transaxle that has to be in a fairly specific location, which limits the length of the engine between the firewall and flywheel. The engine bay was sized for a very low profile H6, which limit's the engine's overall height. Anything is possible, I've seen V8s in 914s, but it's not a simple job. But this is not a chassis that will be friendly to engine swaps like a taller/longer V8 or a longer I6 or V6. The front engine Porsches will always be better candidates for an engine swap.
