Nothing against the Kubota V2203-T, but you must not expect the Blazer to become a power beast with it. I know the Quad-4 is a little beast and its resemblance to an Offie is turning it into a wish for some hot-rodders, but if your intentions are to get a die-hard and fuel-saver vehicle the Kubota is a reasonable choice.

Quad-4 was never available in my country, but there were 2nd-gen Blazers factory-fitted with diesel engines larger than the Kubota.
There was a Kubota 2203 in a 2-door Cherokee I used to have. The engine is still laying on my backyard storage shed waiting to go to another trail rig, and even my father-in-law was taking some looks at it intending to do a diesel swap into his X-Trail. I have also always used biodiesel from cattle lard and waste veg oil in my Kubota and it was great. Now actually looking for a Wrangler with a blown 4cyl engine to repower but maybe starting to consider a 2-door Blazer too...
Mazda 2.2L engine seems to be more appropriated, because it's already intended to automotive usage.
I did a Kubota diesel swap in an ext-cab S10 and no regrets about it, a great engine even being so small in comparison to the 4.3L V6 it replaces.
