There is plenty of space side to side for a small block V8 or V6.

There is space front to rear for a V6. There is space front to rear for
a V8 if you move the radiator crossmember forward an inch and rework the
bellhousing indentation in the bulkhead.

But if you want you can swap in a Defender front clip to give the series
a more Defender kind of luck.

But a small block V8 does indeed feed very nicely inside a series engine
compartment using series panels.
