Will a D14 engine fit into a B?

I got ahold of a B that has the block welded up. It is locked up so of course I won't know until after teardown if the block is still good. I am just wondering if an engine from a D14 will bolt in and if so does anything else need adapted? I am just curious. Thanks.
 
It is the same block as far as bolting it in. The only exception from the B bolt wise is the front of the block is drilled and taped for 5/8" threads/studs which is the same as the CA. The CA used a step stud with 5/8" into the block and 1/2" to bolt the front to. You do have to use your B flywheel.
 
Thanks for the info. It is good to know that it can be installed. Just wanting to know what I could do if I needed another engine if it come to that. I am by no means looking for more power or using it for tractor pulling just a utility tractor for around the farm. I wouldn"t think the additional power would hurt anything unless a man was pulling more than the tractor was designed for.
 
I am just finnishing puting a D14 engine in a B.
The flywheel and 9" clutch will not fit, but Your B flywheel will bolt to the D14 engine.
The B radiator mount will have to be drilled to 5/8" to fit the front of the D14 engine.
The muffler hole will be about 1/2" moved to the left as the D14 manifold is wider.
The oil cap is not going to lign up with the hole in the hood.
The air filter will not work.
The D15 fan is too big, use the B fan.

Thanks for the info that helps a lot. I need to get that engine tore down soon and see what kind of shape it is in. Nice to know what options are out there.
