Rocky Road sells kits to mate VW diesel engines (both NA as well as turbo) to the Samurai transmission. Those engiens are cheap, and lots of options
for more power, too.
Besides, with the current exchange rate, the RR adapters are a pretty good deal!

You don't have to use the original sump though, you can get low profile sumps for these engines.

yep, and they are only steel anyway so dead easy to "adjust" with the mig welder!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Its a Isuzu engine, small and gives good torque and power, very easy to fiddle with the pump and get it flying.
Isuzu 2.8TD engine will give you stupid amounts of Powers in a Zook and is small. Don;t know what gearbox you'd use. You should be able to
make a converison.
I had one in a 90 at Drumclog and pulled a 7.5Tonenr with a Rangier (6x6) and Caravan out of the site.
Vaxuhall Cartlon 1.8 or 2l used to be the Zook converion for the Sj's used to drop engine and G/Box in and marry to the SJ Transfer box.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

Hi Dunk, pardon my stupidity but whats "SPOA"??
Can I have a guess ?
Sump Pan Over Axle ?
Nah, can't be, surely... 
SPOA - is a acronym for
Spring over Axle Conversion and was popular on the Old SJ's as the axles used to be mounted ontop of the springs. Buy putting the Axle under
the spring you gained about 5" ride hight
