Yes a 200 and a 300 and drop it in bolt it up and you are good to go engines.
If you can get one then go for it, the only problem that I can see is the ECU, the 200 is a mechanincal engine, meaning all it needs to run is air and diesel, no electricity, no ECU, just air and fuel, the 300 is a electronic engine, it needs a ECU.
The 300 has more power, I dont know how much more, but more.
The reason a diesel conversion is so expensive for us is the cost of the shipping of the engine, you can buy the engine cheap used, but shipping is the down side and I dont think they will let you bring it as carry on.
If you source a engine state side then you are needing a way to mate the engine to the trans, a non Rover ECU and other hassles that just make it not worth the hassle.
So if you can get a LR diesel then the rest of us will drool.
Now if you could only get your hands on the MPI engine you could really be different!!
