International 4700/4800/4900: upgrade to 4-door crew cab?
This is a body shop question. Suppose you start with an International medium duty chassis which you really like [DT466 mechanical P-pump with Spicer or Fuller tranny], but its cab has only two doors and one bench seat, and that's simply not enough interior space for your purposes. Then suppose...- Tarh331_Dad

Realistic "B50" rating for a 7.8L New Holland Brazil?
So you feel like the New Holland Brazils can make it to 300,000 if they're driven conservatively [no turbo, no racing, no sled pulls], just taking it easy at 60MPH, cruising down the highway?- Tarh331_Dad

Realistic "B50" rating for a 7.8L New Holland Brazil?
Does anyone have any thoughts on a realistic [Real World conditions] expectation for the "B50" rating on the old Brazilian New Holland 7.8L diesels? The "B50" rating is the mileage point at which 50% of all engines of that particular make & model would require a complete overhaul. For...- Tarh331_Dad

Engine Swap: DOWNGRADE 7.3L idi to 6.9L idi ???
Can most diesel shops "precision re-drill" the bolt holes on a 6.9 in order to accept 1/2" bolts, or is that something you should take a specialist? Or is somebody making some super-hardened 7/16" bolts, which wouldn't need re-drilling? Thanks.- Tarh331_Dad

Engine Swap: DOWNGRADE 7.3L idi to 6.9L idi ???
Is it reasonably possible to pull an old high mileage 7.3L idi out of a 1988-1994 F-series Ford Truck, and replace it with a low mileage 6.9L idi from a 1983-1987 F-series Ford Truck? Or would there be a bunch of adapter plates and adapter rods & whatnot which would have to be fabricated by...- Tarh331_Dad
