Randy,
You really do not want to weld anything to the frame.
As for the engine swap I am sure that if you want to spend the time then you can find an engine that you could put in. The biggest problem after you actually get it mounted in the frame is finding suitable linkages and clutch fans, etc.,etc... Most componants will not simply transfer over. Unless you find a junker or wreck with the powerplant that you want I would advise against trying to change. We used to build our road tractors from wrecks and glider kits, but about ten years ago we found that the cost savings were no longer there.
