Default Diesel Engine swap for Santa Fe

I own a 2005 Santa Fe with the 2.7L V6 in it. It's just front-wheel drive, but it's loaded otherwise. I was wondering if the new 2.2L diesel will fit in the older Santa Fe's. I live in the US, so the diesels aren't available over here. Is it possible to do an engine swap and put either the 2.0L or the 2.2L diesel in my car? I wanted to convert it to 4WD also, if possible. I'm looking for an engine from an otherwise totalled vehicle. I still have to do the cost analysis to see if it would be cheaper to ship the engine over from where ever, swap it out with mine, and make my car 4WD vs. buying a new diesel vehicle (whether a Hyundai or other). Any one have any ideas if this is possbile, or am I just wasting time. I'm wanting to do this because of the better gas milage of the diesel, and I can run bio-diesel in it. Gas is getting to expensive.
