Making a new thread for this, since it's not really "home made" it's really just a huge bolt-on project. haha 
Anyway, I've got the motor, drove it home in the back of the TJ
Waiting on the flywheel, adapter plate and motormount kit from Overland Diesel, as well as the the turbo, turbo manifold, bell housing, slimmer oil pan, and a few other items from various places.
I just picked up an engine stand from Tom (Black&Tan), got it on there last night. Thanks Tom! No photos of that yet, but here's the motor
It's a 2.2L Kubota V2203. Same displacement, and very similar size and weight as the flathead l-head motor that's in the willys now. With the turbo, it should make plenty of torque 
Starter motor is shot (I think) so I've got a new starter on order, hopfully when I get the starter, the engine will fire right up. I figured out how to prime and bleed the fuel lines.
I'm probably going to be taking lots of photos, because even though it's pretty much all bolt-on, I'm sure I'll have tons of questions
