So could a bisley frame fit/be made to fit a 61 Navy or maybe a 49 pocket?

I know its kind of an odd thing, but I just want to build something unique, and I think a 5.5" 1849 converted with a Bisley frame might end up being a pretty sweet little shooter. Not many peoples cup of tea I'm sure, and certainly not period correct but kind of neat IMO.

If I could get the frame to fit with not too much trouble I'd then have to figure out something with the hammer...
