the only few cars in the US i can think of is from the short-lived diesel car era:
E28 BMW 524TD most came in manual (good lucking finding that)
W124 300TD (almost all automatics)
W201 190D (most were manual turbo diesels.. SUPER RARE)
W123 300D (can be found with 4 spd manuals and TD)
I'm not sure of who else that is FR with diesel.
Automatic, but in GA and cheap (not running though) -

Wish I had the time/money/knowledge to build something diesel for drifty purposes. I'm still convinced that I could run it on biodiesel, paint it green, and end up getting tons of marketing dollars and such, haha. Maybe one day.

Do a swap! There are tons of diesel engines that would work in an average FR platform with some fitting.

^^ I beg to differ, I was driving one of our newer 335d's the other day, and that shit was sweet. Loads of tq, I actually talked to Cody after it.
