The 25" engines will fit in, but you have to make up 2 brackets which extend 2" forward of the front engine mount. The Radiator needs to be moved forward 2" forward also. You will have to modify the lower radiator hand crank plate also or not re-install it after the conversion. I will be installing a Desoto 236 in my WC-12 one of these days. Has the shortest stroke of all the US made 25" engines hence able to handle higher revs than the others.
