i know of 3 BOB's running nearly 600 bhp in twin turbo format
the rover v8 would need money spending on it to get it to the BOB's standard power to start with (the 4.6 has the same bhp if you did a couple of little tweeks to a BOB)

I put a Rover V8 in a cortina Mk 3 some years back,, no real hassles with that. the engine mounts were a hibrid rover/ford, Shoudnt think there would be much difference as the engine bays are much the same size.
