Replacing window in masonry

Existing window is framed in 2x4 wall with 1x6 'framing' and 2x2 trim on the
outside. I want to replace it with a picture Vinyl but since the sill
(stone) is higher than the frame I'm thinking I may have to leave the 1x6's
in place and order a window 1/2" less than the width and height then cut off
the flange. Question is, how do I securely attach it to the building or is
there another approach?

| The right approach is to have a mason come in and remove some stone, install
the window per installation instructions (visit Pella's site for example)
and then replace the stone by the mason.
Anything else is a waste of money.
