I'm a die-hard dieselhead. Too bad I wouldn't be able to do legally a project like yours in my country, since Diesel engines can't be fitted into vehicles with a payload lower than one metric ton (unless they're either hi-lo 4WD or have a seating capacity higher than 9). They were banned from the local market in '79 but some folks managed to get compact pick-up trucks and wagons converted and legally registered until '93. But some few folks are registering direct-injection Diesel engines as ethanol-powered to be able to use them into light-duty vehicles...
