I was over at the Bantam Jeep festival and they had a Wrangler on display with an OM617 in it, here are the photos/ video I took. It's the Koch diesel ( http://www.mercedesdiesel4x4.com/ ) guys.

Pretty sweeeet! I'm just wondering, why does the oil pan need to be so massive?
-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

It's +1 qt, my guess is that if you're going through the trouble to make a custom pan you might as well gain some oil capacity. Then you won't have that annoying 1qt of leftover oil on each change :p

Um, that's a lot to brag about! Did you use a conversion kit?

Any major hangups while swapping?

Sweet! They have motor mount adapters for $60. I can use those for the FJ40 swap. I'd rather use those than fab my own (lazy).

You jeep guys have it good with the crawl ratios. The FJ40 has a pretty tall low range which might prove problematic with low off-boost torque.
