Diesel Smarts weren't sold in the US, but there are a few in Canada. I believe there was someone here at EcoModder with one, you'd have to search around.
You can also import one from Europe. Here the 0.8 CDI engine from a wrecked Smart ForTwo can be found for $400-$700, probably cheaper if you look in Western Europe (France, Germany, UK had a lot of them).
