If the 450 is a diesel and has the parts you should get it done okay. The clutch housing,front bolster,steering shafts are the same. Be best to use the frame rails from a diesel that have mounting holes for front engine support and dimples for clearance in places. Even though the center fuel tank and steering support is the same casting the diesel throttle linkage has a bigger hole in turncrank on left side for rod.You can drill the gas to size.you need air cleaner,start tank ,brakets and pipe.Notches at hand throttle lever different.Hydraulic lines from reservior to pump different.2 different Fuel tanks used for 400 diesel,one for type A pump and one for B type.Left and right hood sides different.Linkage,fuel lines, electical,different starter,tach and other odds and ends. Most times the switching is from Diesel to gas.Also if diesel engine has no Hydraulic pump or Distributor cost is going to add up.Just my opinion,but if you want to use engine find a cheap 400 diesel with a bad engine and put engine in it.
