Especially with the relatively small tank in the 2dr, I'd be interested in something a little less thirsty than a 392—unless you plan on adding a second tank like a Long Ranger (or similar).
I haven’t looked, but the aftermarket only produces what there is sufficient demand to justify. V6 swaps likely don’t qualify.
@ForgottenTaco - requires an engine bay for a 4.0 I-6 like a TJ , sorry

Well, yeah, Dad’s buddy wanted his 3B’s Hurricane replaced with a Studebaker I-6. It took a lot of fabrication but they did it. Of course, no computers, sensors, or smog crap like today….. Dad got the Hurricane to replace the 3A’s Go Devil that was blowing head gaskets and apparently the problem was the block.

The Hemi swaps seem to be the most common, mainly because there are established kits and plenty of shops familiar with them. An engine swap like that can easily run well into five figures by the time everything is finished, so it's worth deciding whether the cost makes sense compared to buying a different Jeep.
