To get off of topic for a second, VM Motori produced the 2.8L CRD for the Liberty. Not saying since DC has a 49% ownership that Mercedes doesn't have a hand in the cookie jar, not sure, but it is not a Mercedes engine.
Now for the swap info, also consider the following:
Of course the Cummins is one of the best "swap-in" engines you can get but below are a couple of possible candidates. I hear the 4BT has some vibration/balance issues out the box, so that is something to think about.
International/Navistar 4.5L V-6 (would not be my first choice)
MWM (Sub of International) 3.9L or 4.2L
And I believe Isuzu produces a few possible candidates as well, but not completely sure.
Good luck, and do a TON of research.
