Translation:

I have the idea of modifying a cherokee xj, put a toyota diesel v8 engine the one that uses the land cruiser, do you think it will work perfect? And how much will it cost to do a project like this?

No, it would not work perfectly. It would cost about as much a used Land Cruiser.

One of those TDI engines might work. Just have to find the right model.

Whats the goal of the diesel swap? The cool factor? The ability to run diesel? The power increase?

If you are just after the power increase I would recommend turbocharging the 4.0L. With the current selection of engine management available its never been a more achievable goal.
