Default Diesel XJ?

I have a 94 Cherokee Sport, I was recently offered a 2.2 liter Isuzu Box truck engine for free. I got a Volkswagon turbo(I know VW tell me about it) and we can get it up to about 70 m.p.h. It's on 33x12.5 right now. I need to custom make some motor mounts because obviously they don't line up, and I need a machine shop to custom make a plate connecting to the tranny, but other than that everyone lines up ok, let me know what you think and if you guys wanna see some pictures showing the transition and then the final product.
