chevy 6 cylinder in a wd45

does anyone know what is involved in putting a chevy 6 cylinder in a wd45. i have read where it was done back a few years ago on here but it doesnt really tell what has to be done and changed.
 

Won't be able to keep fuel in it with a 292..!!
The 250 won't have the torque of the AC 4 cylinder..
I would say, get a good 350 Chevy (Olds?) V-8 Diesel and have plenty power, not need a governor and it will be easy on fuel..!
Would look good and you probably won't need to lengthen the frame rails..

there are none around here and i am getting a wd45 for 200 with a stuck engine and i got a 250 chevy sitting in shed. did the gleaner combines have a spacer plate to hook to bellhousing or is the bellhousing on a wd45 diesel the same as a chevy engine.
 
There's a couple guys on allischalmersdotcom that have the 292 Chevy conversion. They talked about it being made "legal" for their tractor pulling group, i think it was Oliver guys, to get larger engines that were never put in tractors. Maybe it was combines or something like it. The Gleaner division of A-C used Chevy gas engines.
 
The Chev 250 replaced the AC 226 (D17) when the EIII combine became the K. They had a belt driven governor and used no bell housing as the drive pulley for the combine was bolted to the flywheeel.
