[Roadsters] V8 Datsun Roadster - what have I done?!

[roadstergb at aol.com]

OK, I've never been a big fan of engine swaps, but yesterday I agreed the purchase of?a 2000 roadster with a small block Ford V8 - it originally came from the USA when it ran as a V8 but has been in a barn in the UK for the last 10 years?- it needs a whole load of work but it will make such an interesting toy when finished.
?
The question is ... does anyone have any experience?of the results of such a conversion? Are the standard brakes/gearbox up to it? Any hints/tips/horror stories greatly appreciated.??

Many thanks.
