Engine swap options
I know that swapping out the JK motor for a HEMI seems to be the only choice.. To be street legal, you need to have the motor be from the same manufacturer, with the motor being the same year or newer.. Has anybody tried, or gone gone through the thought process of doing an engine swap with a Cummins diesel? It's an inline motor, and I would imagine would have smaller physical specs than a 6.1 HEMI.. I know I, and many others, would prefer a diesel over gas.. What are your thoughts on this and has anybody ever attempted or thought this process out??

i have thought about doing this from day one but i need a ton of $$$ to make it happen. once there is no modding left to do i will do some more re search into it and go ahead with the plan. might have to finance a motor though those diesel motors are not cheap by any means
