Question gs 300 with a diesel engine?

Hi,
Has anyone here done, or heard of anyone fitting a gs300 with a Diesel Engine?
I am wondering would a is220d engine fitthe GS? Or even some Toyota D4D 2.0 diesel engine ect?
I know the Toyota is FWD, so there would be a lot of hassle making water re-location kits, so a RWD engine would be best option....

Thanks for any helpful replies or links ect.....

IF this has been done it was most likely outside North America. Hopefully some international members can chime in.

I personally think the 2GS/Aristo would probably be pretty low on peoples choice of vehicles for a IS2#0D swap due to its size.

why would you say it be low?

do you know if there is anywhere online that i could find the measurements of the engine bay, mounts, ect from both cars of will i need to do it myself to 2 cars?

and does anyone know if the gs300 gearbox will fit the is220d engine?
