Bringing in a 70 series regardless of engine type that is less than 25 years old is going to be a problem (the problem isn't the diesel engine, it's the age of the vehicle). Find one that's over 25 years old and it is suddenly possible.
Reading more of the post that was linked regarding the engine swaps to get more context, it sounds like the “original unmodified configuration” qualification is one of the requirements that has to be met in order to import a vehicle into the US. Essentially, the vehicle has to be more than 25 years old, be in original unmodified configuration, and so on. That's different from performing an engine swap on a vehicle that's already here, such as the example of an LS1 swap into a Mustang.
That makes more sense as engine swaps are incredibly common throughout. There are all sorts of combinations out there, companies selling adapter kits, and so on.
