I'm exited to see the project. If you can throw up a youtube video. I would love to see a diesel transplant in action.
Its heart transplant time

here are some some pics of the pre fitment. It looks like its gunna fit like a glove. The only thing thats gunna be a little tricky is cutting and mounting an adapter to the output shaft.

Very interesting looking engine. What make and model is it? What was the original intended application for it?
I have a 10 HP China diesel that I am planning on putting in a 224 over the next month. It appears like your engine has a lower profile that the single cylinder diesel engine that I have. I don't think I am in any danger of fitting my diesel engine under the hood of my 224. Below is a picture of my engine. I have not had an opportunity to pull the old engine and test fit this yet.

2 things I noticed , 1: where is the blower shroud? That engine needs it to stay cool, looks like a Lombardi diesel to me, and if it is, it needs the blower housing or it will sieze up when it gets hot.
2; you may want to turn the idle up, as it shouldn't sound like its missing a beat, it can over fuel a cylinder doing that and crack a piston,or worse damage the crank or rods.
It should purr like a kitty.
Nice job ,and should make a super fine mill! I just love diesels
