Okay, I see what you're getting at with the precombustion chamber. I guess that wouldn't be so bad as long as you kept the block warm enough to start it in colder weather. You'll probably want a block heater on it later. I think that your relatively small head (in comparison to most diesels) might still be too thin to live up to the heat transfered into it by IDI. I could be very wrong though. I guess your next step is to just try it and see if it all works. I wouldn't mill the head just because you need all the material you can get there. I'd change your compression ratio by changing the crankshaft because you're going to need closer to 20:1 for IDI.
