Not the tub that I am aware of - but I have seen the front clip swapped over.
Personally I think this makes more sence if possible as the TJ Tub offers a few benefits over the CJ (galvanising/better paint/wider rear wheelweels).
The basic dimensons of the tib are very very similar - although the chassis is a bit different in shape, I think it could work fairly easily. ... Biggest issue I can think of is "offically" the chassis is what determines the year model - so that means you'd need to comply with TJ ADR's (possibly).

LOL I'm not sure I'd say fitting a chevy 350 into a Jeep is really being different from the pack......... Examples of things that are different are:
Buick 455, Cummins 6BT, Lexus, Powerstroke, Rotary heck even an AMC401 would be "different" but not a chevy .....
No offense to the chevy as it IS a good donk - just that I would not use the word different
