A 302 has the same dimensions and going to EFI is a fuel saver. people 
picked the small block Ford because it is narrower than the small block 
Chevy. Nice thing about a common US engine is cheaper parts at any auto 
parts store and much better dependability than the Rover V8. Also, the 
quality of replacement parts for the Rover V8 is low. Range Rover 
Classic folks are complaining about that all the time.
