I have done a few repowers in Olivers with various engines and I would have to say that what you are thinking of would be an extreamly difficult re-power if not almost impossible to do for that tractor. I could make a list as long as my arm of things you are going to have to modify and or change and replace to even get that to attempt to work. Not only that I would not even began to put such a large engine in that small of a tractor, you need a 2255 or a 2150 to be able to handle the power and tork that engine can put out. Now if you took a 2255 that had a V-8 in it and attempted a 7.3L IDI International Navistar swap you could come closer to making that work, but you are still going to have lots of issues like the bellhousings and clutch set up, the fuel pump governers, the fan placement, how to mount it in the frame, etc etc.... And hevan forbid if you get an actual powerstoke engine with the computer system on it, that would be a nightmare. So the answer to your question is that yes it can probably be done given enough time, money and work, but it will be extreamly difficult to do and will likely not produce the results you are thinking it will. I would not try that one, and I have done several re-powers...
