Torque
is the enemy here and none of these transaxles was ever designed to  take 
the
constant 300+ ft/lbs dished out by even a mildly tuned V8.   There are other
concerns regarding mounting and gear ratios and a wrath of  other details to
consider.

In the end, there are many manual  transaxles that can handle even a
radically tuned V8, but they all cost  over $10K. 
 
Under 10K - Now $8500 - but designed for the job.
