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

That i do!

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.
