Yes, it will fit and several guys have done it. I think you simply need to lengthen the frame rails, and of course use the 66 series radiator cause the ports are on differnet sides. Otherwise, I agree with ihbrad, I would love to have a 1456. We have a 1256 and it is the best starting tractor on the farm in the winter, it and the 806. They have enormous life spans when taken care of. I guess if you are wanting to pull it, everyone says you can get more out of the 66 series engine than the 06-56 series, but I just feel IH was really at its best with the 1456. If you just have a 1456 with an engine out, and are wondering what to do with it, consider selling it to me. :) The 407 crank is going to be pricey, but you can find them reasonable, and if properly maintained, you are only going to have to do it once. Place a post on here and ask how many 407s are over 10000 hours without being touched, and I think you are going to get alot of responses. And many with considerably more hours than that. Of course you could also ask how many guys oh them with under 10000 hours just to kill time in the winter. Just my 2 cents. As far as the piston and sleeves, try Don's Diesel in Kansas. Very reasonable in my opinion.
