Talking xj diesel

Wondering if a liberty diesel swap would even be worth a thought?

They did make a XJ with a turbo diesel. They are very to find in the US.
1985-1987 2.1 L Renault turbodiesel I4 (initially sold in U.S. and until 1993 in Europe)
1985-1987 Renault 2.1L 4cyl. Turbo Diesel - 85 hp @ 3750 rpm, 132 ft lb @ 2750 rpm

That would be a tight squeeze when you consider all the plumbing for air and cooling. I'm sure that its been done or could be done. I would think that you would have to relocate a few items such as battery, washer fluid, cut out AC to move radiator forward, go with electric fans.. ect..
