Buying a TDI Jetta would be a lot simpler. Comfy ride, not terribly expensive to get ahold of, though maintenance might kill ya.

As to a diesel swap...if you really want to go that route...assuming GM makes diesel engines with the same bell housing pattern as a 350, you can get adapter kits for chevy V8's to the metric bell housing. Of course, unless you find a used one, it will probably cost more than the car is worth.

Since it's no easy task, the sane route is to buy something that already does what you need of it and call it a day.
