I know a guy with a 300tdi conversion in a Range Rover. He is very pleased with it. When he started work on the conversion I asked why he didn't go Isuzu 4BDt. He said he wished to keep it all Rover.
I have seen a number of engine swaps into RR's. Among them Falcon 4.0 SOHC inline six, Chrysler Hemi 6 265, Buick 350, P76, Chev, Chrysler, Ford small block V8's. Yes, those inline sixes do fit with quite a bit of room left over. The Hemi 265 was a delightful drive. Fast, responsive. It had a Quadrajet four barrel carb and the split cast iron headers from CM Valiant plus a mild higher end camshaft. The Buick 350 was the alum head big valve high performance option. It was a bit of a rocket ship. I didn't get to drive any of the others. The Falcon 6 version was offered for sale at an auction of general goods and looked to have been well used. In horse terms, ridden hard and put away wet.

I’ve always thought V6 out of late model commodore with its auto would be a nice conversion. Shorter and less weight than LS1 but would still go well
