There were no known 44 D Specials built with 277
diesels, only 444D's. The Special Diesels were HD
260's, with marginal changes from the 44D engine.
Given choice, one would keep the diesel in the
Special, being a more durable tractor than the
forgotten 85, Since the 85 has no frame, the front axle is attached to the engine. The 277
in the 85 has a different pan than the 444's
277.

Are the engines the same other than the base?

You now approach S/N breaks, as Continental was
modifying cams, timing. Short answer: having two
complete engines, should produce one that runs
decent, provided that the other is not blown.
