Lanse: first rule of cobbling--anything can be made to fit in anything with enough work! On a more practical note, to expand on what J. S. said, there are many configurations that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has standardized, so in theory any unit with a particular SAE bellhousing can be bolted to any other unit that takes the same setup. In practice, of course, there are always other considerations as well, but that's the basic idea. Many tractors (and many more if your definition of "tractor" can stretch to accommodate things like forklifts, log skidders, bulldozers, etc.) are designed around an existing car or truck engine, and that means that swapping another similar engine in isn't terribly difficult. However, even then, most swaps require the assistance of a well-equipped machine shop, as there's ALWAYS something that needs to be lengthened, shortened, straightened, bent, etc. etc. etc., and it's these little details that can turn a straightforward swap into a money pit. Lots of fun to do, and very impressive when it works right, but not for those with faint hearts, light wallets, or weak minds!
