2.5na to V8 Conversion Please Help

Hi all,

First ever post on this blessed forum so please bear with.
I’m looking at converting my 2.5na Diesel 1990 90 defender to a 4.0L Rover V8 as a DIY project. Trying to put together a full ish parts list so I can source everything ready for the job and budget myself. My 90 currently has the LT77 gearbox in I believe.
Other than the engine obviously what else will I have to source to fit the engine as smoothly as possible? Also what would need doing RE engine mounts etc?
