anything can be possible? just be prepared to improvise and change plans as you go? few things? 7.8 will have an 8 bolt flywheel, top rear bolts are quite a bit higher then the tractor,but you could make up some blocks? have seen it..front drive oil pump on truck motors and later tractor 401's so have to either space front casting bout 3" forward or radically modify your front cast assembly? you might be able to source a tw15 front cheaper then doing the mods? pretty sure tractor front engine plate and timing cover will bolt to the truck block. and i'm sure others will point out many things i may have missed? But again if you are handy and resourceful, can't see why it cant be done? good luck!
