Im no super mechanic, but I would be willing to bet a lot of cash that it will be well worth just buying one with the diesel already in it. otherwise you are going to be looking at buying a complete CRD maybe wrecked, so you could get it on the cheap. you'll need the engine, transmission, transfer case, drive lines, instrument cluster, wire harnesses, computers, and so on.
I ran into this same thing when I was looking at putting a Common rail cummins in my 2005 F-350 not too long ago. I wuickly figured out that it would cost 2.5 times what my truck is worth to do tha swap. If money is of no concern I still say buy one sice they are available. if you are looking to do a swap that's no available spend that money on that. like, for instance of you wanted to swap a 4bt cummins into a grand Cherokee or something.
