Welcome to FTE.
Sure, you can do that. You might save some gas, but it would be hard to save money doing it.
You have a shop, welder, donor car?

Rearend ratios for diesels are the same as gas engines. My 99 SD F250's rear is 3.73. And speakin of 4 bangers, I drove a Dodge Ram van last year to Kansas, coulda sworn it had a hemi in it. It wasn't. It was a big 4 banger that if doubled added up to a 500+ inch V8. And got 17 mpg on the highway doin 75 . If it weren't so butt ugly, I'd a thought about buyin one.

Axle ratio would be 3.50 or higher numerically, even a 4.10 would be possible.
Even with a balance shaft, aren't those motors a real shaker? Especially when it's at your elbow?

An E200 is either going to be a Ford 303 3 on the tree, or a C4 automatic. The old 4BT and 6BT Cummins are pretty smooth running, they only shake allot on shutdown.

A good built E4OD/4R100 transmission with a stand alone PCS controller would probably be the best option but not cheap.

So, a 4BT to GM auto would be easy, but OP would probably have to step up to a later, stronger, electronically controlled transmission.
And then there is Dodge. A 47RH/RE from behind a 6BT in a Dodge pickup would work.
Nowhere do I find the words "cheap", "easy", "inexpensive", or anything else leading me to believe that the OP would be well served going down any of these roads.
