looks like a GM small block to me. I have one, and it's not that substantial of a motor, and with a little jimmying, would probably fit. the intake has 4 runners on it, going to the driver's side cylinders. Could be a rover V8, too, like a TR-8 motor. I've never seen one, but I'm assuming that they would be pretty small to fit in the little triumph. Dunno where you'd get the fancy chrome valve covers, though.
