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.

2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

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.
