While I would prefer seeing you put a Nissan diesel in your Mustang you would probably be money ahead if you put a big Ford engine in it. A diesel engine would certainly make that Mustang far safer in case of a rear end collision & would make that Mustang very unique. If you do it, please take some pictures & let us know how the diesel conversion goes, & let us know the results. Will you use a 5 speed transmission (more desirable in my opinion) or automatic? Would be very interesting what MPG your diesel Mustang gets.
As to windshield rubber molding for the Corrado, you might check Metro Molded Products in Minneapolis, Minn. or Steele Rubber products  which I think in in North Carolina.They make rubber products primarily for American collector cars but it wouldn't hurt to ask them about the Corrado. Hemmings Motor News is a good source for old cars & parts.
