You can pick up a decent 200 or 300tdi engine over here in the UK for a grand or so, disco ones are cheaper and more powerful than defender ones. Think you'll either need a conversion plate to stick your autobox on or you'll need a manual box as well. But am not 100% sure on that.
If your going to be travelling round Oz for a while I'd choose a diesel too, if not for the fuel consumption then for the underwater ability that comes with it, just 1 less thing to worry about.
Are you in the US or in OZ now?
If I was in your situation i'd do the engine change too rather then swapping the equipment over. Oh FYI a defender TDI will NOT fit in to a disco!
