Personally if I were to ever go this route I would choose a 80's mercedes benz engine, something like the OM617 (with turbo, still onderpowered but one of the most indestructible engines I know) or the om606. Both can be tuned up quite a bit reliably if need be.
Having said that: diesel is for trucks and gas (lpg) is for cooking
I'll stick to petrol for the time beeing.
Why a Benz? The things came with the BMW M51 I6 engine from the factory. Much easier to fit one of them, I would have thought.
