Excellent work, a good thread to follow.
On the engine front, I would suggest keeping it as a petrol six cylinder (you could always run it on LPG if cost is a concern). How about a Jaguar XJ40 Engine and autobox, an entire car is dirt cheap from a scrap yard.
After all your hard work making the machine look as close to an original as you have it would be sad to drop in a four cylinder diesel...as enticing as I know that is.
