Not an easy one to do.

Apart from the difficulties in swapping a Perkins in a CF1 (remove the front axle beam or carve a chunk out of the body front cross member then reinstate it as a structural member afterwards) the marine version has a different cooling system and likely will have a different sump and other things to change.
