Engine swap gas to turbo diesel?

Don't know if this has been discussed before or not, but if I have a gas W123 (such as a TE), can I put a 300 turbo diesel engine in it??
What's all involved in the "conversion" ?? thanks!

Bueller? Bueller?

Does no one know what it'd take to do this, or is it just such a stupid idea, no one is willing to reply? Go ahead and say-so...I can take it!

I hope it can be done. Your swap should be a little easier than mine. My plan is to put a 617A in to a 230CE. I will need to swap in a transmission from a 240D since I want to keep it manual. The drive shaft will be different, same as with the ignition switch stuff, radiator, fuel filler, fuel pump, glow plug relay... I think you might find more info on some of the other forums out there.
