Going from 2.2L gas to 2.2L diesel

Hello, I would like to swap my 92 2.2L FI gas with my recently purchased 83 Ford Ranger with a 2.2L diesel how do I do this? Please spare no detail I've never even attempted a motor swap before

Wow, a 2.2L diesel? I'm guessing that it is a Perkin's diesel. You are going to need to fabricate new motor mounts, as the 1st and 2nd Gen B series use different motor mounts. The fuel pump should be included with the motor, more than likely incorporated into the injector pump. You may need larger fuel lines, I'm not too sure if the diesel lines for the 83 are larger or not (wouldn't hurt though.)

You are going to need the 83 diesel transmission and starter as well, it is possible that the 1st gen gas bell housing will fit but I honestly don't know. The gear box on your 92 should fit the 83 bell housing, so you can keep your speedometer and stock transmission mount.

You will need to replace your fuel filler door, the nozzle for diesel is larger than unleaded gas, they do this so you can't put diesel into an unleaded tank.

Additional fuel filtration is a good idea, I installed a universal unit that I got from NAPA for $30. The filter that I got for it also has a built in water separator, which is necessary for diesel. I mounted mine on the rear frame under the bed.

Be prepared for a slower ride, the old diesels were nice and torquey, and very efficient, but extremely SLOW.

The manufacturer according to the specs for the truck say it is a Toyo Kogo diesel

Ok that should be a Perkins, not too sure though as I've never seen one in person. Definitely not an RF or R2 diesel.
