Default Wj Diesel conversion ?

Hi All, i have a 4.7 WJ at the moment and the engine has a ticking sound was going to rebuild, but have the chance to grab a Wrecked wj Diesel 2.7. Has only 83,000 on the clock motor still runs and runs well, have heard it running. How hard would the conversion be ?

Anyone done it before.

Along with the engine you need the transmission, ecu, tcu, wiring, radiator stack, a/c hoses, transmission crossmember, driveshafts, shifter assembly, instrument cluster, axles, fuel cooler, airbox, battery box. That's all I can think of for now

Is it ticking all the time or just at startup? Is it a tick or a knock? Where does the sound seem to be coming from?
Why think a out diesel, the v8 is much better ��

Ticking sound is there on cold start and when the revs hit about 3k, not sure where it is coming from but sounds like lifters ?

Mudmonster has gone the opposite way with an XJ. Its doable. Need the 2 cars next to each other so you can grab what ever you need off the wreak. You have many petrol heads telling you to stick with a V8 but once you have a diesel you will understand why we oil burners like what we have.
