Cheapest option will be to source a 300Tdi and transmission will return 28-33 mpg more on a run and gentle,massive milage capability standard Landrover components,easily modified to give reliable extra power 160bhp it easily achievable.
Probably the best option would be to purchase a British lump and ship it a good 300 Tdi engine and trans with rad and intercooler should set you back around $3000 plus shipping
as US prices are nothing short of extortion
The td5 is another good option but you can double the initial purchase price.
If you need any further information just ask
I do have a contact who supplys good used 300 TDi engines and transmissions complete with rads and intercoolers all are tested and are generally low milage 70-100k units prices do vary for ultra low mileage units
