Whether any made it to the US is a sticky question - most used Herald or Cortina oily bits which doesn't suggest an obvious compatibility, but later ones were adapted to take British-made Pinto family engines, so it might not be a big step to adapt to a US Pinto engine?? Crash testing might be an interesting hurdle to jump or get round ... The Rover looks like a Mk1 2000 TC Federal.
