Correct.

Watson is a very smart builder and know their power choices well. The way the engine is set up with PTOs and other hang ons may have already been well thought out favoring the JD. Also the prop, transmission exhaust, cooling, stringers and other related mechanical and electrical layouts require considerable work between Watson and the engine supplier - far more than this forum with a few quick opinions can offer.

I trust you have a capable and experienced owner's rep working with you on this issue as well as all other build subjects?
