Two AMC engines occasionally found themselves in internationals - the AMC 401 (which was called an international 400 to not confuse international people, since IHC made a 401 cube straight six for heavier duty applications), and the AMC 258 (a straight six). There weren't a lot of them. The AMC 304 and IHC 304 don't have much in common beyond displacement and eight pistons on a common crankshaft. > NO IH gas engine shares a block with Diesels, except maybe in > tractors. The v-8 diesels (powerstroke) have a different block Actually, the 7.3 block started life as a gasoline engine, but was extensively modified for use as a diesel. It no longer shares much with its gasser grandfather. Which one I can't remember, but it isn't urban legend.
