While it isn't something a lot of states look at, the conversion you're proposing wouldn't fly with the federal EPA. i.e. It's illegal to install an older engine into a newer vehicle. It's also illegal to install a mechanical fuel injection system on a formerly electronic engine.

California will begin diesel emissions testing in 2010, with a requirement for testing every 2 years. A "test" includes both a visual (to check for proper equipment) and a snap-idle test for tailpipe emissions opacity. With the current EPA, expect something like this to possibly come to all 50 states.
