Engine compatibility

Hi Guys, I'm looking at an old Hyster H50 with the 4 cylinder Ford petrol engine (In Australia).
The engine has a suspected cracked block and these engines are not easily sourced here, so I was wondering if there are any other compatible engines, petrol or diesel, which would be more common.
Obviously a direct bolt up swap would be best, but will consider alternatives.

Serial number of trick would help but I'm going to bet it's an H50H/J a Perkins 4203/4203-2 will fit. Not certain about any others as you'll need a conversion plate to fit it to the transmission

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
