In my humble opinion the proposed conversion could be disasterous. A diesel engine is much heavier than a gas engine, and the construction of the engine mounts and the front suspension are likely not adequate to handle it. The engineers who built the original chassis/engine combination knew what they were doing--and the crew who makes the conversion better know what they're doing too or there will be nothing but problems and thousands of dollars ahead.
