Can definitely be done just depends on how much you want to spend. Keep in mind that you would also more than likely have to do the gearbox swap too, as well as all the wiring.
The first prototype to run a BOSS was a heavily modified AU, I have a picture of it here somewhere.

I used to work with a bloke who put a BAI 290 BOSS into his AUIII XR8. His brother was an engineer and he had managed to pick up a complete written off BA GT for good money. Gave him a bit more power but turned the AU into a nose heavy pig.
