The fuel system,tank,all the electrics,engine,cooling system,probably the heating pipes the list is endless and when you eventually you successfully do the job you have to explain to the insurance the changes and then the DoT have it retested and all for a car thats worth nothing.The above advice is spot on buy a petrol engine.

It would probably be a sight easier to use the petrol as a donor car for other parts to (presumably) make the Diesel roadworthy again.
