Been watching this one with interest.
I've looked at the other side of the coin (although that would not in the least foreclose what you are doing) in doing an engine swap.
A Panther (with aero improvements) and the old-fashioned hot rodders technique of an engine swap.
How about a Mercedes-Benz OM606 and a manual swapped into the Panther? With an auto Benzes of the same vintage as your Vic get low thirties with a loose automatic. While not easy to find, there are mid-90s Benzs that are wrecked or rusting.
The OM606 is undoubtedly lighter and quieter than a Cummins 4BT3.9 which we've seen swapped into a Vic.
