"Petrol to Diesel.
Pitfalls outweigh benefits, all bolt together but unless you have a engine bay to strip everything from it won't be a nice job, I have seen far too many done my Sunday Morning man, really really badly. some by so called professionals and some done by those that should know better.
You will also need engine bay wiring loom and a Diesel instrument cluster.
Buy a LPG gas conversion, it will be cheaper and easier.
Notes on fitting a Diesel engine to a petrol engined van.
Your going to have to source engine mountings, a Diesel bell housing and spigot shaft, the bellhousing is a different shape and the Diesel spigot shaft is longer. All the coolant hoses, exhaust system, and some way of operating the glow plugs. Basically you need everything out of a Diesel engine bay, pipes, cables, and some wiring, not impossible, just more work.
And he doesn’t seem to mention you’ll need a diesel starter as well..
What ever you decide good luck!
