engine compatibility

Folks-

A friend of mine wants to put a diesel motor in an early to mid 60's thunderbird. While some might think this crazy, could anyone recommend what will bolt up with the least modification? Powerstroke? Ford? Cummins? Detroit Diesel? How about the tranny- were the trannys from that era any good or should the donor vehicle supply that too?

thanks
