Bryce: My suspicion is that it is likely not possible because of the compression ratios and torque output involved. If you recall VW did this with the "Rabbit" engine and had good success. However when detroit attempted similar conversions they failed miserably and they are no longer built because they cost them a ton of money.
VW is the only one that had any level of success with converting a basic gas engine but even they do not do it any more so I think it best to stick with a diesel designed that way from the ground up.
