Forget it, the engine is too heavy and has too much torques for a Rover's power train.

A long block 4.0L Rover motor is 357 LBS you will need to find something much lighter.

There are kits so you can get the old GM 6.2 V8 diesel and put it in a Rover you will have to get it from the U.K. most are put in D-90's.
