Can I retrofit a petrol engine into my diesel car to be compliant with the ULEZ?

I'm happy to keep my Freelander 2 TD4 until the end of days. Is there any option, anywhere, of an engine swap to petrol and could it be legally re-registered to cover ULEZ? I daren't even ask about insurance.

I think it would be cheaper and quicker to simply sell the car and replace it with a petrol Freelander 2. The conversion costs would be huge and your insurance premiums would go up as it'll be considered a major modification. There is also no guarantee that, after spending £1000s on the conversion, TfL would recognise the changes and provide an exemption from the ULEZ.
