Ok guys.. Need some thoughts (and I don't want to hear how stupid it sounds either).. I have recently inherited a 2-71 Detroit engine. I was first told it was a 3 cylinder.. but it isn't. I was told it ran when it was pulled from a crawler (but who knows how long ago that was) I know it still rolls over, so that's a plus..
I've seen one put into a Farmall M and I thought it was kinda neat.. it was done neatly and looked good.. But I don't have a Farmall M.. I was given a 44 Massey though (no motor, no tin.. perfect home for a engine it would seem) and I have a bunch of "damaged" tin from the 33 I have been working on for years
My plan is to unite the 44 chassis and the Detroit and the beat up tinwork.. Keeps it all from winding up on the scrap heap (I'm trying to preserve a relic), and in the end I'll end up with something different to play with..
Just wondering if anyone has done something similar, and how I would go about getting my clutch/pressure plate/ input shaft to work. I know I would have to build an adapter to go from engine to bellhouse.. and I know a machine shop would most likely be involved, and that's ok too.. It's not something I plan to do overnight as I would like to see it get done properly and hold up

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
