Clint: Did you ever think of buying a 666D or 686D, and keeping your old 656 for a parts tractor. Probably be less money than what you now propose. I think Cummins can sell you a new 5.9 that will bolt right up. If you go used it will depend on what the Cummins came from.
You could go IH 310, 312, 358 or 360, they will all bolt up at clutch housing. I never used any of these engines long term, however a neighbor had a 666 (I can never remember which is 310 or 312, however his was American engine) and a 886 with 360. He bought a new CaseIH with a 5.9L Cummins. I drove all 3 of them on tillage equipment, and was not impressed with that Cummins. He couldn't have been either, the Cummins was gone in two years. Last I talked with him in 2001, the 666 and 886 were still around. Personally I'd look hard for an IH engine.
