I'm thinking that getting the engine to fit would be a relatively minor problem compared to getting all the electronics necessary to run the engine wired into your car. I'd be more inclined to buy one of those 616 Turbo's from Force Motors in India if I wanted to put a new diesel in there. Of course it all depends on the emission and registration requirements in your locale.
If you're really intent on getting a CDI in there, buy a wrecked Sprinter van and transplant everything. I've seen a Sprinter engine on Ebay in the past.
