Nice Rover.
I've got a 61 SII that I will be repowering with a Cummins R2.8, but that might be a year or two down the road. My 1988 2.5 turbo diesel is a slug. You'd think with the turbo it would have a little more pep, but nope. So no way I'd consider putting that engine into anything. But that's just me and even though this diesel only has 100,000 km's I doubt it was treated well, so maybe it would be a different engine if it were rebuilt, but I won't be wasting the time on it to find out.
