you would need more than the front clip
you'd also need the tank, pump, fuel lines and all the little bits inbetween.
it would be a cool swap but like stated above, you are looking at probably 5-10+years to pay off the swap in the savings from the difference in fuel prices. it would probably be more worth it to fly down to mexico, buy a TDDi focus, bring it up and try and register and insure it up here! if you pull the engine and tranny you can bring them across the border on seperate transport and re-install them and insure the car as a "KIT" car.
going with a used motor is probably not a great idea, who knows it's condition and good luck finding parts for a Ford 1.8L tddi engine over here!
