For a British Leyland product, not as bad as you may think. Look at the 2.25 liter diesel used in the old Land Rovers. Or if you want to go Japanese, a 3 or 4 cylinder Yanmar or Kubota out of a genset, loader ( more money, but their build quality and efficiency is really good ), the VW IDI ( used a lot in Suzuki Samurai swaps ).

Compare the weights and dimensions of your engine and then find something that will come the closest.

Then there's the old Mazda diesel, Isuzu diesel ( used in the Chevette ), Mitsubishi 4D55 ( might be too big ).

Maybe an air cooled Duetz of an appropriate size ( no radiator )
