Novelty only. A stock 302 or 4.6 already has enough torque to light up the tires. Add a SC or turbo and bam superstang. There are however some neat diesel mustangs on youtube. Guess its all in how fat your wallet is.

you don't need to go all out like that.you can get 400-500 ponies effortlessly with an econo 400 build (iv done it......it's scary and im not even kidding.) just try and not kill yourself.

We'll my idea behind it was just a "for fun" kind of thing wanted to try it out and see where it goes, I mean people have also done a powerstroke swap and me being an IDI lover I thought why not!

Well, if you read about all the work that's been done to this car:
1994 Ford Mustang Duramax - Diesel Engine - Diesel Power Magazine
You will have some idea of the size of the project. Pretty sure an IDI weighs more than the Duramax.
This thing runs 9s, gets 30s mpgs, goes 202 mph.
You don't have to build something to beat that car, but it will be a lot of work to make the car driveable.

@e150 I'm sure the IDI does weigh more than a dmax or cummins or a PSD but like an earlier poster said, it's novelty idea, and I was thinking that if it works out the it works out if not, then Orwell, I figure almost anything is worth a shot, and I think I'd have some fun givin it a try.
