bought a 2ltr 8v motor for £100 out of the paper, complete with all wiring etc, now how much work is involved in doing the conversion? i.e. mounting and shafts etc?

Same as a 16v. Shafts (22 spine or custom), Mount kit, alternator clearance etc

No idea on top end, i know the F20s are geared for about 140mph though.

And yer, F20 would problery be best.
