I am one of the rabid diesel nuts...
Swapping any powerstroke (7.3 or 6.0) is not straightforward. Both engines are computer controlled. So if you want one of those, you'll practically need a running donor truck for all the wiring. There some members in the 94 to 97 PSD forum that have swapped the 460 gas to 7.3. I think there's one guy who went 7.3 IDI to 7.3 PSD too.
Really, if want diesel and you want power, you're best off with a 12V Cummins. There are literally dozens of companies (at least in the States) who offer products (even some kits) for installing Cummins 12V in Ford/GM pickups. The 12V use mechanical injection (no fancy computers) and can make ridiculous amounts of power and torque.
Look into the 5.9 liter ISB Cummins (that's the 12V) before 1998 (I think). You can use the 24V with the correct stand-alone computer controller. But that's $$$$
Good luck!
