You would want to put the whole package in - engine/tranny/tcase(s) to make it run with more reliability. But that means clearing out and building new mounts all around. It will give you a better platform for duel transfer cases. Everything involved will be custom, but that can be a good thing if you are picky about strength. I have been told by friends that used a gas toy motor that it was too much work for too little upgrade, but using the diesel may tip the scales the other way...
