If you really do want low revs / high torque: I always had a pipe dream of putting a VW TDI diesel in a Volvo. At least a few people have done it in 240s - they are a bit underpowered stock but can be tuned quite a lot. Furthermore, the Suzuki Sidekick used the AW71, in addition to various Toyota manual gearboxes, and someone already makes an adapter to put the TDI on those, so... hmmmm....

The "drive by wire" accelerator supposedly makes the swap easier. One downside is that the engines are in high demand and relatively pricey.

How adventurous are you? Just a crazy idea.
