With money anything is possible but there are better engine options out there that are far less complex and have more hp. The Jag AJ60 (AKA 3L Duratec) V6 has variable valve timing which you would need to control. You'd probably have to get a jaguar computer and if possible use the SCT Pro Racer software to program it to work. The best option for the Contour/Cougar platform is the non VVT 3L available in the Taurus/Sable. Nobody has attempted to use a 3L with VVT and been successful. I'd suggest you find a MGB forum and ask them about engine swaps.
