Unless you are fitting a motor with substantially more power I can't see the point moving away from the Rover.
Sure other engines will fit but they will all require fab work and modifications which could easily cost more than simplyy getting a Rover V8. Is it not possible to rebuild the motor that's in it?
SBC have been used in several Raqnge Rovers as conversions here in the UK so should fit a Discovery as well. As for the diffs, well unless you are drag racing it I can't see too much of an issue, besides you can always beef them up as well if they do break.
Personally I wouldn't use any Ford motor I can't see any reason too. Sure the 302ci is fairly compact but it weighs more than a Rover and can't really produce much more power ultimatley.
A LT1 or Ls1 would be my chioce, plenty of parts available and responds well to mods.
