Default FordenBenz conversion

I recently purchased a 1990 Ranger ext. cab in very good condition (bodywise), but with a seized engine. Then found a 1983 MB 300D turbo that runs very well, but the crank seals leaked very badly. Bought an adapter kit from Nathan Koch, found a Jeep AX-15 transmission, clutch, master cylinder, and drive shaft to put the power to the wheels.

My business has me on the highway many hundreds of miles each week and the old Ranger I had would get only about 20 mpg. My goal is to get this Ranger conversion together and get 30+ mpg in a light truck.
