It will bolt up to the clutch housing. That would be the only easy part. You"d need to build the starting/fuel control linkage, you"d have to get the radiator hoses connected, you"d have to come up with a location for the starting tank, you"d need to modify the hood for the exhaust pipe, and run fuel lines. Then you"d have to get the frame rails bolted to the engine. Seriously, the 560 rear end is not all that weak. The first ones did have problems, but they were updated. I would be more concerned about the reliability of the gas-start diesel engine than I would be about the 560 rear end. Those engines were very sensitive to abuse, many cylinder heads were cracked because the operator was just not patient enough to let the engine cool down for a few minutes before shutdown.
