ebay, or buy a really buggered range rover on the cheap, at least then you can steal all the running gear too.
i've got a hybrid, it's a rangie chassis and running gear with defender and series body work.

Probably get a rotted rang rover cheaper than buying engine n running gear from a breakers plus you will get £ for scrapping the rest

there are LOTS on ebay, but as above depends how much extra you want.
if carbs, you dont really need anything else other than the engine, need a low pressure fuel pump but the series pump will most likely be suitable anyway, and theres about another 4 wires, which the series will already have from the original engine!

Maybe obvious but you may want to get a Range Rover that's running and drivable.
I got an engine first which was outside the vehicle, which turned to be no good.
Although turned out alright as i manged to use the SU carbs to replace the stromberg's on the second engine.
Prefer the carb version too rather than efi , bit cheaper to fix and takes up less room in the bay.
Good luck in your hunt
