No, but I doubt you will get 40-68mpg at speeds above 25mph. Also you will definately need a manual transmission with at least 6 gears all very close together like a semi.
60hp is quite small, I would love to have the old 60hp 2.8ltr olds/GM diesel in my buick though, it would be very long and slow up to 55mph but not much different than my 25hp Subaru 360 but that car only weighs 900lbs
You might also consider the old Isuzu 1.9ltr diesel found in both FWD & RWD chevy chevettes as it was a very reliable motor, though not turbo, but then again it was also 60hp and for auto use, also it would be much easier to attach a drivetrain to since Chevy likes using all the same stuff.
Good Luck
