What engine talbot express?

Currently have a talbot express camper van it's a 2ltr petrol and at around 18-20 mpg not so good in the pocket! is there any moderen diesel engines that would bolt straight in? speaking ot a fella who has a 2.5 ltr deisel camper van with the same chassis he gets 25-30mpg but struggles with with it doing over 60 any idea if a modern ducatio engine ect would fit?

18-20 MPG seems very low. I have an 1984 Talbot express camper conversion with the 1971cc petrol engine. It has a longer wheel base than the standard Talbot Express camper of the same age, and has a high roof. I average 27 to 28 MPG, which is is not too bad for a 22 year old petrol engine. It's not great on very steep hills, but will sit at 70 all day on the motorway, and is quite able to do a good bit more on the flat. Could the engine not be tuned up to improve on the MPG, rather than going to the expense and work of converting to diesel?
