Mike: The suggestions you have so far are good, but from my point of view why not stay IH diesel. I doubt if you will find a D-188 out of a 504 or a D-239 out of a 544, those would bolt right in and require very little modification.
The D-239 that came in European built IH tractors, is the same 239 used in the 544 except the front engine cover will not be designed for attaching to Farmall frame rails. There is also a 3 cylinder version of that engine, D-179.

A tractor wrecker near me at that time had a bunch of these European built tractors with 179 and 239 engines. These were damaged tractors from an insurance claim. That is the avenue I'd check out, as I think one of these German built IH diesels would bolt up at clutch housing.
