Default Range Rover Classic Swap Options

Hey, I am new to the forum and am quite curious about hybrid Range Rover Classics. Has anyone ever opted to swap the original motor of a Classic for a newer Range Rover motor? How extensive of a process would it be to shoehorn a newer 4.6L motor, or a BMW built Range Rover engine? Transmissions too, what are the possabilities?

Default I know 4.6 Conversions can be done

Check out East Coast Rovers at ECR Range Rovers

They are big proponents of putting the 4.6 Litre in Classics...have even put the 300 TDi in a Disco so I don't see why it couldn't go in a Classic.

Not a rover motor, But this is worth looking at! I am sure now that he has had it a little while and tuned it the MPG's are better!
