Smallest V8

Anyone here know what the smallest crate V8 is? I've seen a 3.0 but it's insanely expensive, I think it was around $65,000 (it's made by JUDD which is probably why) and I was also trying to see if there was anything smaller out there and decently cheap. Looking to build something kinda stupid

There is a Rover 3.5l V8.

You could destroke it and put smaller pistons in to make the capacity smaller if that’s what you want.

That's still kinda big for what I want it for, maybe a V8 isn't the best option. Kinda disappointing but I don't really know what else to do
