You'll need to build/mod/fab/bodgy everything starting from A for Accelerator pedal
The extra weight will take a lot of the edge off the performance, fuel etc.
The tranny to engine match is pretty important to get right so the Patrol box and ratios may be an issue.
I don't even have the foggiest how the mounts etc will line up or whether a 'full' power train transplant would be better/easier.
You will need a pretty good cheque book to cover the fabrication costs and engineering certification.
Fair enough there are a number of points that you have raised that may be issues, but how much different is it from putting a LS in? (and people put themin quite often..)

Hence why I am still looking and asking questions...

The VW diesel engines may be another point to consider!

Any particular engine designator?
