They are aveilable in Europe.
The most common engine is is the 2 ltr from Peugeot (rather the PSA group), the HDI engine. There are two types, 8 valve or 16 valve, both with more or less 110hp and 270 Nm torque. They can be found in many cars, but I don't suppose they were sold in the US...
There was also a Mazda engine in there with something like 87 hp, but I don't know much about these engines, they are quite rare.

i was going to try a Jeep CRD motor try contacting
http://www.burnsvilleoffroad.com/ (http://www.burnsvilleoffroad.com/)
I read that it has the fuel economy of a four
       the horses of a six
and the torque of an eight ;D
and it's cleaner than almost all vw diesels
