There used to be a company called Samurai who did these types of conversions, don't know if they're still about. Steve Parker does kits for several engine types to fit into Land Rovers so give him a try. HTH.

Try Motor and Diesel Engineering around about Bury St Edmunds, If I remember correctly.
A word of caution however, the engine is immensely powerful and tends to eat the Land Rover gearboxes on a regular basis. I even tried an autobox some years ago but the change pattern was wrong for the engines characteristics, so would drive strangely until the torque convertor locked up.

I do not think Samurai are about anymore as I have not heard of them for ages.
I do remember that there were some reliability issues with the used engines we used to see over here, better to import one yourself to ensure you dont get a bad one.

Samuri are long gone. Do a google for Marks Adapters. The petrol is the same bolt pattern as the diesel
