One problem other than the crankshaft flange difference,is that the 289 is an external balance engine. Part of the crankshaft balance on a 289 is built into the flywheel,so the M nuteral balance flywheel would have to be balanced to 289 specs. You might be able to clamp a 289 automatic transmission flexplate between the 289 crankshaft and the M flywheel so the balance weight on the flexplate supplies the correct balance for the engine.
I used that method to repower two Oliver tractors with Chevy 454 engines. They are an external balance engine like the 289. The 454 flexplate added the correct balance to the nuteral balance oliver flywheel,plus it allowed me to use a chevy block mounted starter to crank the engine.
