Default Anyone ever do a Landrover Discovery Conversion?

I am thinking about swapping in a 5.3l into my 04 landrover disco. Anyone ever see or do one of these? If so where can you point me for information?

thanks

PLEASE do this! Land Rover drive train = boat anchor! You will probably have a fun time trying to get everything to mate up, but that's half of the reason to make it happen.

Im interested in doing this as well, Ive put one in a nissan 240sx sure it will fit nicely in a V8 engine bay! My question is how to get the engine and trans to play nice together, is the trans controlled separate? The adapter is not the biggest concern its the electronics...

Here are some trans & engine mounts from Australia but for older models:
