I've seen a couple with Volvo diesels and a few Mercedes conversions. There's one running around this area with a Ford diesel, but since it's from a European transport lorry one would have to anticipate the need for replacement parts since there aren't any in the US.
There's no real compelling reason to replace a working 2.25 with a 2.5. The tdi's will not necessarily make it much faster, but taking hills won't be so embarrassing. If my 2.25 dies, I have a 2.5 on standby. The only thing it would gain is a little efficiency.
