Clark retrofit

I have a Clark C500-80,lot #5955 cushion tire truck with a Perkins 4.2482 diesel and a single speed transmission. I also have a C500YS80 lot #6665 pneumatic tire truck with a G4.236 Perkins gas engine and a 2 speed transmission. I would like to put the diesel engine in the C500YS80. Does anyone know if I can and what, if any, parts that I would have to change.
