Yep, you could. Anything is possible.
The hard part would be finding a Gemini V8.

If you rip the V8 out of an RB Gemini and mount it transversely you will have an extra 7 or 8 HP up your sleeve.

the non smart arse answer is that given enough time and money anything can be made to fit, id suggest either researching what others have done before or break out the tape measure and see how much space you have to play with.

the good thing is its early enough to NOT limit engine choices, but the engineer will pretty much tell you what he wants to see.
