I did some searching and didn't find anything, so here goes:

I have a 99 Lesabre, good old 3800 v6. As much as I love the 3800, it's definitely not the best for fuel economy. I've been thinking about doing a diesel swap of some sort for years; my original plan was a 4BT in an astro van for my family car, but now I commute 84 miles round trip, so I was thinking of trying it in this Buick.

The 4T-65 will supposedly handle 240 ft-lbs, which is probably right around what a small 4-cyl diesel would produce, so I think the tranny will handle it.

My question, does anyone know of a 4-cyl (or less I suppose) diesel that uses the GM Metric bolt pattern? I have access to a lot of fabrication equipment if I need, but a direct bolt up would be nice as a 4-cyl is going to be longer end to end than the current v-6 that's in there, so the less length I add the better.
