The V8 Rover will fit therefore the Range Rover 4.6 will go in.
A small block 8 may well go in but why would you

:D That i do! :D

It's, ahem, only a 3 litre, but it has DOHC heads so it's very wide. Rover V8 will fit no trouble at all.

Nice! If doing a straight six you will most probably need to stretch the chassis a tad. But pretty much anything with 4cl in a straight line will fit apart from flat 4's.

A flat 4 does not have 4in a line.

I did wonder if a subaru boxer engine would fit but i think it would be far too wide

Ops yeah you are right mybad :D

It might be able to fit but would take a bit of reworking to keep the chassis stron and would stick out the sides a bit and get in the way of the engine bay diagonals. Also would need to make sure it would not foul with the wheels ect. But it would be nice and low thats for sure.
