Perkins aren't my favourite engines - some were fairly good hard working and reliable but some were awful. Shelvoke and Drewry (SD) used Perkins and I have never been in a noisier vehicle. My biggest grouch about them was they never used a single bolt where three smaller bolts would do the job - the pressed steel covers never seemed quite up to the task of keeping oil inside, the cylinder heads were slender to say the least and manifolds seemed to hang on more by magic than any substantial mechanical method.
The 4.300 is now getting on in years...
Any engine can be made to fit into almost anything depending on the engineering capabilities of those who are carrying out the conversion.
The important thing about any conversion is to ensure the replacement engine will be able to satisfactorily do the work, especially when being fitted to a work-horse. Studying the torque and power output graphs of the former and proposed replacement and hopefully finding them similar at similar speeds should be a priority.
It should be borne in mind two identical diesel engines can have very different characteristics depending on the injection equipment setup. There is a world of difference between the setup for a truck engine intended for local town and country deliveries and a full-rated truck or coach engine intended for main road work.
Replacing the injection pump and injectors for a different setup is an expensive business...
Given the age of the trucks there should be old paper manuals and parts lists about where you can compare axle ratios, drive shafts, suspension parts etc. Try ebay. Would it not be easier to get another F250 front end?
Perkin engines were built to a standard bell housing configuration so that gear boxes of different makes would fit straight on. If you hurth gear box was made to these standards then the bell housing will bolt up to the engine. It was no 1 for most gear boxes or no2 for road ranger -splicer . Check with an engine rebuilder rand they will be able to tell you.

the small blades are just held on by push fit,,
grab hold of plastic blad and push it inwards to unclip them
fitting new ones pull them out before starting mower up
the inpeller is bolted to the motor shaft with a left hand thred on a kye way undo nut and just pull impeller off shaft,,, (there normaly stuck on tight with dirt or rust? a good drop of WD40 will help get the impeller to move down the shaft
