A Rover engine block ought to be easy to find in Europe.  Rover quit making 
them a few years back and handed off production to Weston-super-Mare.  Lots of 
Range Rovers, Morgans, TVRs etc. used the engine so there must be some in 
junkyards.

I  bought most of my new Rover V8 parts (for my Morgan Plus 8) from RPI in the 
UK, but there are plenty of others.
