My search for a good 49 Super A engine block

Wellll, I have an aquaintance who is a little bit eccentric who said this guy in town maybe had a spare Farmall block. I say he's eccentric because he stuffed a 6-71 Jimmy diesel in a 1970's 3/4 ton Ford pickup, which he reglarly runs back East , to the delight of truckers and the dismay of retired guys pulling trailers with their new, $35,000 Cummins diesel-equipped rigs. He gets 24 mpg. But I digress. I went to this other guy's house, and saw not one, but two Farmall A's , consecutively numbered ! The nicer one has about 200 hours on it,original tires, everything like new on it, save for the battery, of course.It has the vacuum/exhaust gas/pneumatic whatever-that-thing-is lift, still with decals on it. I even saw decals on the back of the seat. Totally cool. It's brother has been used much more, but is still a very nice tractor and frequently used, and has a jerry-rigged, PTO - driven hydraulic pump for the implements under the seat.
ANYWAY, outside his 4 bay garage, along side of his old gas station lift ( I hate this guy ! ), next to a humongous old gnarly sickle bar is a frozen 46' engine he wants $100 for, which has a good block. However, I really want hydraulics for my one-armed loader. Is there anyway in Haydes that this old block can be re-machined to accept the hydraulic pump from my Super A ? I don't think there is, but thought I'd ask anyway. I am still searching far and wide, but trying to concentrate on more local areas than Arkansas.
