, secondly it's just a boring "quiet" engine compared to something like a Cummins straight 6 diesel, or a Detroit V8 Diesel. It'd certainly be a lot cheaper to run, easier to maintain and it'll sound a hell of a lot better too if you dropped a 6 litre or a v8 diesel in there. It'll shift some too. Here's an example of one that's local to me:
I'd always go for a diesel over a petrol, but each to his own. Put it this way, what you want to do CAN be done, providing the engine will physically fit between the radiator panel and the bulkhead. It'd just be a matter of getting down to the nitty gritty of modifying the chassis, the bulkhead (possibly) and then making various mounts, brackets, plates etc, pipe works, exhausts, cables and wires. You'd be taking on a pretty mammoth task but if you're happy to get your hands dirty you'd do it. What you'd end up with though is a Land Rover Jeep, and you'd get no sympathy from anyone 
Mainly for it being more reliable that a RV8, more powerfull than a 200TDI and not having to worrying about upgrading the rest of the drive train as you would with a big 6 liter diesel.
And the Jeep engines are easy to come by.
I do like the sound of that big diesel though!
pos that sound's amazing'i want one in me disco
yeah i watched em think the disco would look a bit odd with a smoke stack like that though
