Ford V6 2.8L into an Alpine?

[SunbeamAlpine64@aol.com]

My original Series 4 engine is sounding a little tired and doesnt have the 
power it once had. I heard of a guy in the States fitting a Ford 2.8L V6 and 
I'm wondering if it is a feasible alternative to reconditioning the 1725 
engine I recently bought. Any tips / guidance / advice?

Thanks

ps For the purists - I'll be storing the original engine not scrapping it!
