Mercedes has a 2.3L 4 cyl and a 2.6 L engine in the 190e's of the 90's that might work. They are quite cheap and plentiful in the states, not sure about over there tho.

Lancing Marine offers all kinds of diesel engines as direct replacement for Volvo/Mercruiser gasoline engines. You can also just order the correct bell housing and engine coupler if you want to marinize a car engine yourself.
