do you have a RWD auto in mind for putting it in?
all the luv diesels are 2.2L making about 57hp at max 4,200 rpms torque is about 95 at 2,200 rpms it would be a good canadate for any compact truck under or around 3,000lbs there to slow in a S-10 for most people,there closer to 3,500lbs.
granted slow is a reliteve term with these engines, a gen2 2wd luv with the stock diesel takes a firm 20 sec to 60mph
finding that trans housing is going to be a battle. there hard to come by. if you find a bad trans with the diesel housing you can transfer it to a easer to find trans out of a gas engine the guts of the trans are the same only the housing and bearing retainer is different..
unless you go for a 4wd then things get more dicey
