Oliver 1950 repower project

They say everything is bigger in Texas... I want to prove "They" wrong. I had a crazy idea awhile back while attending tech school. I want to repower a Oliver 1950 with a 6v-92 Detroit (came stock with a 4-53 Detroit). I know I might not be the first guy to ever do this, or something like this, and I'm ok with that. I was just wondering if anyone out there has any info that may be useful in my upcoming endeavor. I found some rough measurements on a site. The length is almost the same (within an inch or two). The big problem will be the height and width. The 6v-92 is close to a foot wider than the 4-53 and is about ten inches taller too. But since the tractor doesn't have much for side tins I am feeling very confident I can make it work. So if anyone out there is an Oliver or 2 stroke Detroit diesel fan/fanatic, I am willing to take any advice/ help I can get.

Thanks in advance,
