A possible chassis & transmission for a diesel conversion could be a British motorcycle. Royal Enfield, Triumph pre-unit, early BSA. With a little digging decent basket cases can be found at reasonable prices. Sell off what you don't use to recoup some expenses. Brit engines are tall so a diesel transplant might go pretty smooth.
