Rawls, Not sure where you are, but I know a guy who's installing a 2.8 (?) BMW 6 cyl. turbodiesel in a Range Rover - the BMW 524 and 528's in the mid-80's that had the turbodiesel used it with the same ZF automatic that the Rangies have. I've seen entire 524's on Autotrader for less than $3000, and Ford also installed the BMW turbodiesel in some Lincoln Mark VII's in the mid-80's, and these engines are out there in junkyards - often with low mileage, from cars owner by folks who never went anywhere.
Supposed to be a good engine - and the Ford angle makes parts availability good - although BMW dealers can get everything too. The Ford workshop manuals are supposed to be better.
