what is 510 Nm of torque as opposed to ft lbs of torque? or is it the same and you call it something different?

The standard 2.8 DOHC 4-cylinder Common-Rail Diesel (CRD) pumps out 175 bhp @ 3800 rpm and 302 lb/ft @ 2000-2600 rpm.

i think the 5 speed auto has a bit more torque

Too bad this thread has deviated from the OP question.

That's very cool and I'm envious of the overseas JK diesels but theres nothing in this thread useful to actually converting/swapping the motor.

The most useful thing was the reference to flea bay for a salvaged liberty motor which is evidently around the $2k mark.
