Default 2002 Ranger conversion to a 4BT?

I have a little Ford Ranger with a 4cyl gas engine in it. Its getting up there in miles and I am thinking I eventually want to convert it to diesel. What would I need to do in terms of suspension and modifications to get the engine in there and make sure the truck could handle the tourqe?

Thanks guys I will do some more research and see what I can do.

Acutally I have some questions. What are the major things I would have to change in order to make it work? Suspension of course. Then what? Transmission, Exhaust, etc.?
