Any diesel would get you to 20 - seems the Cummins engines have the most support though for these swaps....

The only real aftermarket diesel engine swap that has support is for the Cummins (for obvious reasons: 23-yrs of production in Dodge trucks with unparalleled reliability & economy, ease of service, and longest B50 life).
FordCummins is the best known site.
There are build threads on the Ford & Dodge enthusiast sites:

Might want to contact these guys:
Beans Diesel Cummins Conversions
Beans has been working with the Cummins and conversions for quite a while. I visited the shop several years ago for a Dyno day. They are in TN.
Good luck.

B50 is also referred to as MTBO (Mean Time Between Overhaul). Powerstroke & Duramax are 250k miles, Cummins is 350k.
