I swapped a nissand sd22 diesel and 5 speed into mine.  had to move the t case back about 6 inches and shorten the back drive shaft, lengthen the front drive shaft.   drove it for about a year and then turbo charged it with parts from a turbo dodge colt i found at the local pick n pull.  was kind of a winter project but much cheaper than going the vw diesel route with the acme package.
