I am trying to ID a recently acquired Rover V8 engine.

Rumour has it that this motor is from a TVR, however I am unable to verify this as it is now fitted with a four barrel carb and conventional ignition.

The engine number situated near the dipstick begins 47A 07996B, I can't see the CR stamping and the only markings I can make out at the front left of the block behind the PAS pump are 470 and 28N, the left head is marked 37 00.

Googling reveals only that the engine number is similar to that of a Morgan 3.9, I would really like to discover more about this engine without stripping it, if possible.
