Tru i didnt even think about the weight . Do you think a 1988 toyota 1.8 1c would suit?

Hey all, i want to repower my samurai with a 1993 nissan laurel 2.6l diesel engine, was wondering if there is any one else who has done a repower, what problems you encountered, things to take into consideration and just general help tips.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
