Apple's FTL [1] is probably a better way to go. It's a high-level, general-purpose JIT for LLVM that is being used by Apple's own JavaScriptCore in WebKit. There was a discussion about it on HN a while back [2]
Last I checked, V8 was highly JS-specific, and you would have to rip out and replace large parts of it.
