Sounds like you need one of those Cuban shade-tree mechanics who can mate a 1970s Soviet tractor diesel with a 1950s Studebaker, and keep the offspring running perfectly for another 30 years.

Apart from the necessary marinization mods to the LR Disco motor, I don't see any reason why the replacement would be impossible. But that doesn't mean it'll be easy, or that the result will work out- you may end up having to fabricate a lot of custom brackets, mounts, adaptors, etc.

Why the need for the engine change?

boat came with complete blown motor,

plus the price of petrol over here is skyhigh compared to yours

If you choose a good engine to convert your problems will be solvable.

These uk people specialise in marine conversions and may have both the engine and all the bits to fit it with.
