How much modification do you want to make to your engine compartment? It has been done before:
YouTube - V8 Aerostar ( 5.0 HO )
I think I posted a while back that the SBF v8 is a couple inches wider, taller, and longer than the 4.0 liter v6. So some cutting of metal will be required. But I don't see that that would be a problem for you.

I think may fit. but not sure with lining fan (may be you will have to put two electric fans, about 150-200 wt each, becouse V8 priduses more heat).
5 cyl mercedes engine fits tini aero doghouse, but difficult to work on it, to change injectors ore do any emmision related works is like a nightmare
5 cyl MB engine is longer then 5.0 HO. So I think you will put it in, but measure is it wider then 4.0 ore not?

V8 with 1-1.5 BAR boost pressure will destroy your drive line. Small 27 mm UJs may crack. Diesel engine in aerostar killed stock DS (broken UJs, cracked eyars) and more tought steel DS was installed. After DS swap we all realised that heavy DS ballanced to zero vibrates anyway and the only way was to cut it and add center support bearing, like on semitrucktors.

well, now I wanna rebuild my old 3.0 but if I'll not like it will run I gonna put something else. I think about mid size diesel, like Mercedes OM904 ore OM906 with mercedes tranny.
description is here.
Mecedes OM 906 engine
But there are 2 different ECU versions for EU and USA. EU ECUs are 24 v powered, US models - 12 V, in EU they use ADM (FR) unit with iso can, in the USA 12V unit works via J1939 CAN + J1708 for diagnostic and to controll ECU, Vehicle Controll Unit (VECU) is used that communicate to ECU via J1939.
Well, for me these electronically related problems are not problems really! ))))
