VM 2.5 TD Transplant

Not so much a problem as an idea...
I have a Cortina Mk3 that I would like to fit a turbo derv into, complete with 5 speed box.
The obvious choice would be the pre-94 Granny 2.5TD; but that would be way to easy, wouldn't it?
Basically, I'd like to know wether the VM 2.5TD (94-97) can be run out of it's donor car.
How 'electronic' is the fuel pump? Is it just a mechanical unit with solenoid controlled extras or fully ECU controlled? Is the lift pump integral to the injection pump, or seperate?
What would I require from a donor car to do the job? I'm assuming just the engine, loom and ECU but is this the case?
I'm competant and experienced in engine transplants but haven't handled a modern ECU diesel yet!
Any mechanical fabrication is no problem as I do that for a living, it's the control side of the engine I'm concerned about.
Also, does the VM25 use the MT75 box?
Any advice is welcome, even if it's to say what a bad idea this is!
Thanks

Thanks for your input, but perhaps you could quantify 'better' for me, please?
Do you mean easier to install, or is the VM unit a bad choice?
