You can fit anything in a Series III (as long as it isn't physically too big) but I think you will be on your own, and will have a rubbish vehicle at the end.
Apart from anything else a Ser III will weigh a lot more than a Sierra, and needs different characteristics.

I agree with the others, the ford twin cam isnt such a good engine anyways, I never understood why they made it twin cam but only 8 valves.
A disco engine will fit the series box.

Mate had a racer with a 2ltr Ford Serria engine in it. Went ok on the flat but had absolutely no guts uphill. Was a giggle in a field tho
