Diesels Rock!
I suspect you'll be real pleased with this set-up provided you dont have big block sound withdrawal.
Personally, I would shy away from any stock diesel outdrive combo because of the brute torque. Builders tend to put these in boats that the diesel will handle but the drive won't- at least reliably.
With surface drives or direct inboard you should be in great shape- those engines will be very reliable and you'll save on fuel considerably. What's the boat weight and what type of performance are you expecting?
