Clevo into an XF requires extra work cutting the firewall etc. anyway - definately not worth the effort. Then again, the Toyota V8 is a tight fit as well, and probably needs the same mods, which are quite common in falcon circles. Remove the XF heater box etc., cut that piece out of the firewall, weld in similiar piece from XD/XE and use the earlier heater box. Anyway, best I shut up about Falcons before somebody round here spears me 
If you're keen, do it. The rest of the car will still be a pile of scrap, but at least the engine will be alright

Consider yourself speared!!!
I've skimed the whole thread and will simply add:
XF's never came with any form of V8, and as such have a slightly different firewall with relocated heater pipes, compared to the older XD and XE Falcons. As a result when fitting a Cleveland V8 into an XF you need to pay attention to those heater pipes, they will be very close to the LH rocker cover - ut with a bit of gentle manipulation, you can install the motor, move the pipes slightly and have everything happy - been there done that. I'd say the Windsor would be an even easier install, however their rarity and cost these days is enough to make most people stay with a Cleveland. You don't need to cut the firewall, you just need to pay attention!
Contact "cosmorotor" on these forums - he has a friend with a twin turbo Lexus V8 into XF, so should be able to give you a few pointers on install.
