North American R51 Engine conversion options

Hey guys!

I'm seriously considering an '05+ Pathfinder as my next project. Mainly because of the addition of *THE FRAME!!!* and the interior space, of course. What would make this vehicle almost perfect for my applications, would be the addition of a diesel power plant. What I'm wondering is, would ...
