Roads?.. Where we're going, we don't need roads...
Good point. Factor in the co$$$t$ of conversion, then compare with a ripper of a blue-print super-fussy rebuild, even down to things like increasing plenum volume, pollishing/shortening trumpets, chrome plated grease nipples etc. Putting in another LR engine, say 4 litre petrol should work out good bang for buck. Or even a 5 cylinder diesel LR. - I drove an old Classic LSE with a Disco engine/trans, and it really is the combo LR SHOULD have put in them. Near perfect balance of oomph and fuel miserliness. Interfacing the 2.5 TdI and Disco trans etc with a Classic's many ECU's including Air suspension is..... Impossible.
For a few years I drove an '87 with rebuilt 3.5, towing nearly 3 tonnes of trailer & plant. Everything built for caravan towing including special cam and LPG conversion. Without the load.... was a danger to my driver's licence.
The 2.5 / 4cyl LR or other diesel is a contender. I understand that lots can still be done to lift performance.
Garbage fuel will all but kill a Common Rail, even properly made biodiesel is a doubtful long term replacement fuel in those Girl's Blouses. IP's will handle lumpy cooking oil....
My 20 cents worth !
EDIT: When I win LOTTO, I'll commission a DOBLE steam engine into a suitable LSE.
