Turbo Diesel Engine for 280 GE???

Just bought a short base '84 280 GE and would love if I could do an engine conversion. I made up my mind to get any mercedes turbo diesel engine soon. Has anyone ever done this conversion before? Next question is, what kind of engine choice is suitable to get at least 250+ hp? Thanks

This has been done many times, and discussed in depth and almost ad nauseum on the Pointedthree G-Class Forum. Just do a search for "617A" engine.
