The overhang doesn't seem to be a problem in practice. I'm told
350 Chev smog heads are this way too.

I haven't seen any of those.

Not that I've seen. In the U.S., those motors only came in
Range Rover$ and they don't come cheap second hand.
Plus you're still limited by the heads. If you put the 300
heads on a 4.6, you'll still need to change the pistons
to get the compression up. Or you could weld up the
combustion chambers.
