I want a lWB diesel, but SDL's are MUCHO $$$

Would I be able to put a 617 into a LWB 116? Would I have to fabricate engine mount brackets or would mine just bolt on? Obviously the diesel would take a different key switch and would require other work such as fuel lines, etc. What else? I assume I would need a different driveshaft? I like my car, but it has no room in the back seat. I don't get how MB could make such a big car, with so little leg room. I'm not freakishly tall or anything, I'm 6', but I have to slide the seat way up just to have people sit in the back. Tell me what you guys think. The more I think about it, the more a transplant is scaring me because of the wires, etc.
Thanks
David
