Turn the FWD engine through 90 degrees so it's fore and aft and mate it to the brick gearbox. Might require some adaptors machining to for the bell housing but this can be done if you've got the sponduliks. Engine mounts will require some cunning welding, but not too difficult. Nissan diesel conversions are offered by a firm in the UK, so there's another potential source of oil burning motors. I cannae see the point really. I'd have thunk that the fuel saving would be offset by the extra maintenance required.

Regards,

Big Rich.
