Being a BEC devotee I would never put an engine that big and heavy-duty into a "light weight" sports car. Wouldn't it be much easier to drop a zetec in ? Chuck some bike carbs on it and you have 170 bhp or thereabouts which is plenty of poke. Obviously further down the road 200 bhp is achievable which is much more than most rover v8's are making.
