Bud, I think you need to make your post clearer.

You need to give the site a slightly different link type for images to show.

Though.. The pic has gone now anyway.

I assume he means that's the engine out of his 'dead' S8 that he has.

Like this?

Yep :)...

I picked the wrong URL from the original post to drop into the tags.

Wow. What happened to the original engine? Unless the bores are damaged, or there's a window in the block where there shouldn't be one, I would advice a rebuild.

The 077 series V8 motors are quite robust, so you could have been unlucky...

From the way Gogs described it to me, it's siezed, so needs to be out and stripped, but could well be knacked.

I thought they could not be rebuilt, the crank can't be removed and refitted, or is this something I dreamt?

The can be rebuilt, depending on how broken they get.. IIRC, it's the cylinder bore that can be the problem as it's alusil or something equally exotic.

32 valve V8s can't have the crank removed as it's a stressed part of the engine. The Alusil bore can be honed but it's a tricky operation. The S8 in the photo lookks like a FL so it's 40Valve can be completely stripped and rebuilf as long as the bores and crank bearings arn't to badly damaged. heads are a bit of a pig as the cams run direct in the heads with no shells.

Rear wheel, door handles and side indicators all say that. +++

Both Gog's cars are FL IIRC.
