I would check the rev range of the 2 stroke as they are typically found in plant, marine, rail/diesel electric where the range is very narrow. This isn't much use on a road going vehicle for obvious reasons. Turbo charging is a requirement on a 2 stroke diesel in fact all the ones I can think of are compound with a supercharger as well. Forced induction is needed to scavenge the exhaust gasses. If your sure it doesn't have exhaust valves I would definitely give it a miss as it wont have any rev range and will be an utter pig to get started.
It will be a great engine but not for a car.
