Subject:Air cooled diesel Vanagons

Last night I was complaining to a friend about the new California smog law
when I had an idea about maybe putting a diesel Vanagon engine into one of
my pre smog VWs. But not knowing anything about them I don't know if it
would even be possible. Are the diesel engines from the early '80s based
on a Type 4 gas engine? Are there other things besides the fuel injection
that would need to be retrofitted into another car to make this work?
