You are opening yourself up to a world of pain. Its not just a matter of putting in a new engine. You will probably need a complete new wiring harness, a new ECU. Will the gearbox fit the engine. Drive ratio's on a diesel engine and on a petrol differ totally, so look for a gearbox as well. Ah, but now you will probably need new sideshafts as well... See where I am going with this?

OP, just buy another car. You'll spend tens of thousands on an engine, and all the other bits that you'll need, not to mention a similar amount on labour, and you'll have a car that no one can service and no one will ever buy from you. And it'll never be the sort of car you can take drive to the coast because it'll never be reliable enough.

If you want better performance, buy a car with better performance. Simple.

Edit - duplicate post deleted.

I obviously feel quite strongly to have made the same post twice...
