Ryan, Believe it or not I though that scenario awhile ago. Aside from physical space issues, the Subaru 360 would likely run into issues with the diesel vibration unless you were to fabricate a different engine mounting subframe of sorts... I ended up with a Honda Z600 thinking I'd diesel-ize that too but decided against it mostly for the same reasons. If you really decided to heave-ho the gas engine and went with Lithium, your 360 could really be hotttt! At least I could see it...
