The six cylinder 603 is a 3 L. 149 hp and 195 ft/lbs torque (don't know what the 2.5L is, but about the same as the 617 3L I think). You want the turbo version, certainly, as the NA engine is a slug (but runs forever).
The 603 isn't all that common, alas, not used that much in the US. If you do the swap, you will need a set of springs from the V8 probably -- that Benz engine is much heavier than the Jeep six. You will also need a custom driveshaft, which may be a hassle.
