If you're talking about Rover V8's they can all be built to the same physical dimensions with the right combination of front cover / pulley / water pump etc no matter what the capacity.
If the question is "can I fit any V8 from any vehicle e.g lexus v8 / jaguar v8 etc..." then the answer is anything is possible with the right amount of patience and skill.
From what I've read on the subject it's not really a straight forward bolt on type of conversion no matter what engine choice you make.

imo one of the best upgrades suitable for a series is the 2.5 petol from defender ,ample power ,quiet, bolts stright in using original fittings including lift pump
Why do you say it is a waste?

Molest a series 3 or even a 2a but leave the old ones alone!
A lot of the originals are now long gone or molested past worthiness, keep it as it is and leave it as an untouched collectors item. If you want to wreck a series at least do it with one that isn't extremely rare

Yeah yeah sure, just because your engine doesn't work don't put others off

There's the thread about the skyline engine in a series 1, I think you mixed up with that one
