For anyone thinking about an engine swap I thought this was interesting

3.9L/4B

The 3.9L/4BT Cummins is an engine in the same family as the 5.9L Cummins turbodiesels. The 3.9L/4B is an inline four-cylinder turbodiesel that was popular for many step van applications including bread vans and other commercial vehicles. This engine is also used in various industrial and construction applications. With a cylinder bore of 4.02 inches (102 mm) and a piston stroke of 4.72 inches (120 mm), the engine had a wet weight of 745 pounds. In recent years it produced 130 hp (97 kW) and 355 lb?ft (481 N?m) of torque.

The torque that this motor makes would be perfect in a jeep
