Jag 4.2SC?

Has anyone anywhere in the world swapped a Jag 4.2 Supercharged motor into an 86? My FA20 blew last summer and the car has become a great looking planter in my driveway now. I recently picked up an 06 Range Rover with this motor (and the ZF 6HP26 tranny) for $3500 which is considerably less than a used FA20 sells for and it got me thinking. These things are pretty easily available in pretty good shape and I could use a parts truck, sometimes you can find ones that run great but have other issues or rust and people just unload them. I saw one this morning with ~60k miles for $1k that a tree fell on and that's what spurred this idea.

In my 6k pound truck this drivetrain is fast as shit, I could only imagine what it would be like at half the weight. A simple pulley swap and tune and it puts out 490-500HP so that would mean other things like the rear end need to be beefier but after that I'm lost. Is this even possible? Thoughts?

Anything is possible if you have a welder. The rear end will be fine.
