Default Diesel Engine swap?

Has anyone ever heard of a diesel engine swap into a mustang or any other car for that matter? I am talking about a Powerstroke or soemthign, not the semi ones. Wouldnt it be sweet to see and hear that thing roaring downt eh block? a lot of potential are int hose engines.

Anything is possible but you can go faster for less $$$ with a regular engine.
