The axle swap is more focused on dependability and resistence to the heavier weight of a 4BT. A 4BT swap is not so much harder than a small-block Chevy swap, unless for the weight. I could suggest you to get some lighter engine, such as the Kubota V2203-DI, which has been successful in many light truck Diesel swaps.
