Where should I start? OM603, OM606 for good torque, reliability and fuel economy.

I don't think I need more than 250 hp and I would rather it didn't belch black smoke unless I'm going full throttle, then I would tolerate some.
It seems like the 722.6 transmission is fairly common over here and I imagine it could be built to handle lots of torque.
That's probably more durable than a manual transmission behind a modified engine, also cheap and plentiful due to Chrysler.
One other thing, I want the vehicle to be able to survive an apocalypse, including EMP. A mechanical pump OM606 (or OM603) should take care of the engine but what can I do to control a 722.6 that won't fry in an EMP attack?
Another good feature to calm my paranoia is the ability to run off of bio-diesel or cooking oil. What should I do to make that possible?
Lastly, I've seen some OM606 swaps that look very factory and clean. What makes the best donor? What do you have to buy to finish it off cleanly?
The plan is to make a vehicle that can tow a 2,000+ lb trailer like it's nothing, drive like a modern powerful SUV (7-8 second 0-60 mph) and survive anything that gets thrown at it.
I don't think I need 600 up so hopefully I can do it on the cheap and integrate it in to the military 4wd system.
Hi, I'm in the US so OM606 donors are a bit rare but I want to tow with an imported military G Wagen and do it cheap.
