I just went through a whole bunch of this stuff since im basically doing the same type of thing. What I was told by an EPA representative was that most of these restrictions were for vehicles up to 20 years old, beyond that, you can legally change powerplants and alter the title to reflect the change.

They told me to find a platform vehicle that exceeded 20 years to do my swap.

I had the same question, I want to legally register and drive my vehicle when its eventually done. After that, I did some state research. Basically, in my state, you re-register the vehicle as diesel, then bring the information from the engine/donor vehicle, and they perform an emissions test on the vehicle based on the emissions standards set forth for the engine donor.

After that, its all legal on the title and with state and federal record books apparently.
