Default D24T + nissan 350z 6 speed into 245 wagon

So ive been lurking around the forum for months now, and finally joined!
I own a 1986 volvo 245 DL with an automatic gasser. Everyone has been trying to talk me out of this crazy idea ive had. Well the time finally has come! I have a decent d24T out of a 86 740 automatic and a cd01 6speed trans. I know the gasser guys have access to an adapter plate to swap in this trans. So why not into a diesel!?
Basically i will be notching and filling in the crossmember for engine fitment, and plan on massaging tunnel for trans clearance.
Two things are holding me up at the moment:
What is the appropriate flywheel? (Dog dish or flat)
And sourcing the correct bellhousing (apparently gasser and diesel housings vary?)

All help and constructive opinions/tips are highly appreciated!
