Russ,
I came across this web-page this weekend:
http://www.britishv8.org/swaps/index.htm
Full of links to sites with V8 and V6 conversion information. Thought
you might find it useful.
Good luck!

>From what I've learned so far, there's the stock four, four with alloy
cross flow head, conversions using the GM 60-degree V6, and conversions
using the Rover 90-degree aluminum V8. For transmissions, I have
learned that there is a four-speed, four speed with overdrive, and
various five-speed conversions. That said, I am looking for what
you've got powering your B/BGT and the pros and cons to each
combination. I do have a specific question concerning conversions. If
the factory used a 90-degree V8, why aren't there more 90-degree V6
conversions also? It seems that other than being shorter, there would
be similar work involved in modifying the engine bay for fitting. (I
do realize that the 60-degree V6 fits without as much (or no?) major
modifications. Thanks.
