The Aussie's have an aftermarket adapter for T-56s and rumor has it that the 6 speed out of a Supra will bolt but either way... not cheap.

Not pertinent to the OP, but I recently sold a 1991cc Ferrari V8 that also came in a 3000cc version in the 308. It easily weighed less than 250 lbs.
I don't know of any modern V8 that's smaller or lighter. There were some pre-war racing cars with 1.5L and 1.0L V8 engines.

There was also the Toyota V-series all-aluminum pushrod V8 which I'd love to have, but we are talking easily obtainable here.l
