Any conversion is about twice as difficult as stock replacement. With stock
replacement there are no modifications required, with a gas to diesel
conversion, there are many mods required, and some quite costly in
time/money. They only way to keep costs of a swap down is compromise,
compromise and compromise to a correct install. This tends to compromise a
good result.
