Would it be possible to drop a 1.9 Liter Turbo diesel Volkswagen engine into 2005 ford ranger 2.3 4-cylinder?

It is theoretically possible to drop a 1.9 Liter Turbo diesel Volkswagen engine into a 2005 ford ranger 2.3 4-cylinder,

but it would take significant fabrication and modification of the Ranger chassis and body including wiring of electronics ,custom fabrication of engine and transmission mounts with modification necessary to accept the Volkswagen diesel power. This custom installation requires expertise in mechanics, electrical wiring, fuel and exhaust systems fabrication including safety considerations and is generally NOT something suitable for most DIY mechanics due to technical complexities involved

In addition obtaining correct computer and tuning for this custom fit may result in legal difficulties for both the installer and vehicle owner in areas following strict vehicle emmisions regulations
