As I was reading your post I had thoughts of the B18 engined cars I've owned -- many would diesel. I learned in short order to put the transmission in 3rd and slip the clutch out as I shut down. It can be done smoothly with no "shock".
I did play with one setup that involved two 2 throat Weber carbs from two Renault LeCar donors. Those had an electric idle valve that really worked - shut the key and no more fuel got to the idle circuit. - Dave
