    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?

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

    http://www.lancingmarine.com/

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