Transplanting a Diesel???

Here is what I trying to do:

I am trying to find out the specs of the Mercedes five cylinder diesel engine. This includes torque, horse power, compatible transmissions, towing capacity etc. I am considering taking the engine out of my truck. I have a 1979 F-150 with a 351, I have always been a major MB nerd. So the only logical thing for me to do is, transplant an MB diesel engine into my truck and make it run WVO. But my truck still needs to be able to haul and tow! Does any body have an experience with this or have heard about it? Suggestions ???

Thanks,
Dr J. Bones
