Off the top of my head, i can´t remember seing one with the bigger engine, but would surprise me quite a bit if it haven´t been done, since there´s no end to the mods these has seen over the years.
Nomatter, i keep my fingers crossed that you´ll do it Ben, and make a dedicated buildthread covering the project 
I'm quite certain this is well inside Ben's capabilities, he does some nice work , I would be interested in seeing a mod thread on this as well (wink , wink)
I would Love to have a go at it, I just viewed the Engine assembly of both the D405 and D16 on wilesco site, it may work....the primary issue I see so far is the D16 is Longer. I don't think it would look right for the Cyl head to be forward of the chimney stack....I may have to slide the whole engine back far as I dare and maybe extend the boiler or shorten the rod or both...I hate to cut into that pretty rod....but I could or machine a shorter one out of billet.
This may be one of my favorite looking Wilesco TE...but I am not willing to pay extra for the crane so the high temp black paint may need to come out.
