Keep your V8. Ship or drive it to the Uk and then convert it to lpg. Cost of running is then about the same as a 300TDI but you stil have the V8 power and sound :-). Cost of conversion varies from £650 doing it yourself, which is quite easy, to £1200 getting it done professionally. LPG is now easily available in most of uk and even cheaper in France, Holland, much of East Europe, Italy etc. If you do run out then just flick a switch and you are back running on petrol. For great advice on V8's contact Chris Crane at RPI (V8engines.com)
