Go for it, check out the web or 4x4/Hot Rod mag's for Co's. that make adaptor plates etc (lots around but I can't think of any right now). If you can spare the $$$ just take your truck to any good 4x4 fabrication shop or Hot Rod shop. The USA is king of putting big o'l american engine's in places they are not supposed to go. If you can put a 427cu" in a AC bristol and call it a cobra (thankyou Mr Shelby) then you can put a v6 or v8 in a Rover. (by the way the Chevy v6 and v8 have the same bell housing bolt pattern) After all the Rover v8 is not realy a Rover engine, it is a old Buick 215cu" discontinued in 1964 and sold to Land Rover. So even us Brit's don't mind swapping things around a little.
