Default diesel power?

So i am currently rebuilding my jeep. rebuilding engine and tranny ect. but someone recommended something. next time, put a straight six diesel and 5 spd into my jeep.

I'm just wondering how hard you think that would be. Could we actually do that? What would fit? ect.

Cummins 4 bt on a scale from one to 10. I'd give an 9.... The install is not hard Just need to fab tranny and engine mounts ...plus the hardest part probly is the rewireing...time consuming...plus the gas tank. And file lines....everythin needs changed
