The first thing to consider for me would be size, weight, power output, and sticking with a turbo'd motor! Then how efficiant the XJ radiator is going to be inconparrison to the donor motor rad size and flow, electrics are easy enough, can be costly but you still have to get all the other mods approved anyway. Going to large a motor will make things tricky for room.
Many things to consider before throwing something to big in!
I personally would try and find a suitable 4cyl td that has similar size and cooling needs.
Research into other sites as previously mentioned would go a long way!!

More power to you if you find a happy medium replacement engine!

Please keep us informed of your plans and further mods!
I also would consider the Toyota 3ltr td as an excange motor, although there fuel ecconamy is a bit average so I am told...
