Any comments on the advisability of this undertaking, or should I be looking to find a properly built Diesel Montero instead?
Thanks!

Montero's were never sold with Diesel Engines in N.America but they are everywhere else. You may be able to import one from Canada. There's a thriving market there where people import them in from Japan. You'd have to find a way to legally bring it into your state from Canada.
Also, since their diesel engines where never sold here you would have a really hard time when it came time to perform maintenance or repairs.
