Default Nissan SD22 Turbo Diesel Swap?

I recently came across two 2.2L diesel motors for a relatively reasonable price (Meaning pretty much dirt cheap), and they both come with transmissions and new injection pumps. I dont know the condition of the internals, but they look like they have been sitting outdoors for a while. But two engines for half the price of one, i figured i could use parts from the one to repair the better looking of the two if all else fails. Earlier in the year I did a hell of alotta research into doing a 4BT swap but with the loss of a previously decent paying job for a minimum wage job, had to cut the swap. Founds these and its kinda sparking that itch again. Was wondering a few things.
1) Has anyone swapped this motor into a ranger?
2) Besides body mounts and crossmembers, would the entire front end have to go straight axle? It is heavy, but not as heavy as a 4BT from what ive seen.
3) Yes i have searched the site, couldnt find absolutely anything besides 4Bt swaps and 2.3s.

Do you know what it came out of?

Most the 4bt engines come out of delivery trucks and the pumps have to be swapped to get enough power so you are not limited to 45mph.
