They come with the full truck or u can pick up just an engine at a place like dieselenginetrader dot com. I've seen them there.
Most reliable engine on the market.
Just stay away from the 4bta.

The Liberty Diesel would be a good conversion into the JK as the ecm would be a direct plug in and everything would still work.

This subject continues to be kicked around. You can buy a complete CRD Liberty for under $5K if you look hard enough. That would give you everything you would need to make the conversion.
