Would a manual transmission be an option?
I don't have a good feeling about sacrificing a good trusty car on an engine conversion. It is never like you see on "discovery turbo", LOL. You would be fixing small or big things for the rest of your time with the car until you get fed up of it. I'd rather give the transmission a good rebuild or even source a new one. Same with the TB45 when the time comes. Specially where you guys are, where you have access to the parts and to the professionals.
And lets say you are tired of the engine performance, I still think it would be less hassle finding a lower-mileage (than yours) TB48 and moving your camping setup over to the new Patrol.
