The most sensible route to take to a V8 conversion would be to acquire either a wrecked or a rusted ZT260 as a donor. Trying to replicate a 260 from scratch would be a huge task and would cost a fortune. Retro has the advantage of having a fully equipped shop with the room to take a car completely to bits, repair and modify a host of parts and build the car.
But, if you were to find a V8 without an engine or with a blown engine you could take your pick of Ford's crate engines.
