While LIRR trains could go west to NJ given third rail power, there apparently isn't room in the 63rd St Tunnel for wire to power NJT trains, and the method of construction of the river tunnel makes changing this very difficult.

Well, obviously NJT's rolling stock is unsuitable. But more would be needed anyway, so it can be ordered to more suitable standards. The existing stock can be used on routes to Penn Station and Hoboken, or sold to SEPTA.
