yes, the engine bay is the same
Not exactly. The bulkhead/transmission tunnel is different as the engine is longer. The gearbox is also has a different bellhousing. I have a 6cyl engine and gearbox (hasn't been run in years!) if you're interested. Personally, I wouldn't bother. It's a lot of hassle for what you'll get. I would either put a TDI 200 or V8 in if it's power you're after.

The bulkhead is though part of the engine bay.

WRONG!!!! The bulkhead is the bit behind the seats. Though everyone calls the firewall a bulkhead in reality it's wrong.

A firewall is what the yanks call a bulkhead. It's actually called a bulkhead

The bulkhead is a bulkhead, and is also a firewall. Bulkheads are classed as a partition. They are vertical panels for sub-dividing space, or strengthening a structure.

No it isn't if you ask for a bulkhead from a landrover dealer you'll get the panel behind the seats.

.........anyway going back to the original question. If you want to fit a LR 6 cyl engine into anything you do indeed need help They are generally referred to as rubbish
Actually I think you'll find what people generally refer to as rubbish is actually refuse. A 6 cyinder engine does not become refuse until it is scrapped or dumped. The word you are looking for is actually 'poor', 6 cylinder engines are poor.
