get yerself a 109 rear tub and shorten to suit. A 110 tub may work too and would have the advantage of a set back bulkhead.

Note, if you do this, what you are left with is a modified Range Rover and should be taxed, insured and registered as such.

from my interpretation of the rules you aren't going to "radically" alter the vehicle by changing the body and replacing engine and gearbox, however your interpretation may vary, especially if you do anything to the chassis.  At worst it would need an SVA and a Q plate.

no dont think so,if you fit your landy gbox ,tbox & v6 it will be driving the rear axle all the time till you select 4 wheel drive,if im right in thinking you may have free wheeling hubs on you original front axle that you would be scrapping??
i no a few guys up here have coiler motors with landy s3 tboxs in them
