Hey guys, I feel like this is going to be a great build thread since I will literally be starting from idea/planning, to buying parts, to actual installation over a long period of time. It might be awhile. I'll be in the Marine Corps starting in May, when I leave for Basic and I won't be back for about 5 months including combat and MOS training. I'll be joining the Reserves so I can finish school but I have to commute to Gulfport, MS one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer. That's a 5 hour drive and about 300 miles. My wallet and Claire won't get along so I will be getting a new car with better gas mileage and keeping Claire (1995 D1) as a project, hence the idea of a diesel swap 
Alright, back on subject. SORRY COPY AND PASTED FROM LAND ROVER FORUMS..
First of all, what is all needed just to do the swap? Here are some things from Land Rover Import that are just basic necessities for a swap.
Here is the list plus where I am getting it from, how much, and questions since I am totally new to diesel engines.
-300TDi Engine Rebuilt
[Land Rover Import] - $5800
[Comes with new timing belt kit, new clutch, new engine seals and gaskets, rebuilt fuel injection pump, new water pump, lift pump, vacuum pump, and turbo tested. Basically, I do not plan on personally rebuilding this at all, is there anything else that I would need to ask them to replace?]
-300TDi Engine Mounts
[I'm sure I can get these fabricated but I was wondering if there was a vendor that sold them?]
-Manual 300TDi Transmission Rebuilt
[Land Rover Import] - $1750
-Remove fuel pump in fuel tank
[The 300TDi uses the Bosche VE right? So obviously I need to remove the old V8 pump but does the new one install in the same area? It is included in the engine rebuild so is it on the engine?]
-Remove plastic insert in fuel filler neck
[What for?]
-Remove in line fuel filter
[Where does the new one install at? If I remove my old fuel filter I need to make the line complete since it was [Line] [Filter] [Line] and now I removed the filter there are just to ends of the line. Am I right? I heard the diesel fuel filter mounts to the firewall. Is this true?]
-custom clutch lines if a manual transmission
[....I dont even know what to ask. What kind of lines do I need? I might just let the shop handle this.]
-custom power steering lines
[From the power steering pump to the steering components right?]
-wiring loom can be tapped into to connect temp sender, oil warning light, alternator warning light, tacho, starter wiring stays the same, coil power goes to the injection pump.
[Will this be a headache or is this pretty simple? Splice the wires together and be done?]
-Radiator/intercooler drops in to replace V8 unit
[Where can I get an upgraded intercooler?]
-Exhaust system is best taken care of by your local muffler shop
