Hello, James - There are no easy answers here. The engine you have is an M4-121, in Hyster-speak. Conversion to a GM 4-181 (3L iron duke) wouldn't be easy or straightforward either since the hydraulic pump would be driven at the flywheel end of the engine from a chain drive through a wet bellhousing - incompatible with your setup and existing plumbing/pumps. I'd suggest finding a decent used engine through a used forklift parts supplier - it'll be the most economical and provide the best chance of success overall. Here's a list of the companies I'm aware of - I hope one of them can help, but you'll need to have your model and serial number handy for them to reference:
