Why not? Rover was dropping an American V8 into series rigs in the
nineteen seventies.
In America, small block V8s are the common inexpensive universal
replacement engine, parts are very cheap and they are a lot more rugged
and dependable than the American V8 that General Motors sold to Rover.
People in the UK have a very different set of engines to play with than
people in the States. If someone in the States feels the need for a
little more power the cheap reliable engine is the common small block
V8s. Whereas in the UK you may go to an IVECO engine or something like
that.
It is no different than UK people putting in IVECO, peugout, or other
more powerful, or less expensive diesel into their LRs.
Considering how the Brits modify series rigs without a bit of hesitation
I'm surprised you are taking the stance that you are.
The first re-engined LR I rode in was in the UK. It had a Jag V-12 power
plant.
I too have opinions. A lot of them as a matter for fact.
