How do I install a 617 diesel in a Land Rover?

Hello, I have several 300TDs. My question is, I would like to take the 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine, mate it with a manual 4 wheel drive transmission (toyota sr5, 4 runner trans.), and install this into a 4 door Land Rover defender wagon. Has this ever been done? Is there any information you may have on folks doing conversions of this type? Will it adversely effect the mercedes engine? Sounds crazy I know but I really really like the 5 cylinder turbo engine and also like my defender. The two combined seems like it would make a great combination. Thanks, Frans
