There may be a limited market for a diesel conversion kit, but I dont think you will see it in the near future. There is a lot of fab that must be done to install a diesel and your choice of transmission. For the cost of making the kit, I dont see a good ROI for the company.

The company offering such a kit would have to decide on what engine they would build the kit for, what transmission, transmission/T Case married or divorced. Would they offer cross members, oil pans with needed modifications, fuel tanks modified for diesel, the list goes on and on. Doing a diesel swap is NOT like doing a 318/np-420 or np-435 sawp.
