Re: [ihc] Re: Goofy Diesel Questions



I don't know for sure, but I'd be very surprised if I learned they built
some with the Ford bolt pattern, then discontinued it for the 7.3L since
Ford was the major user of the engine.  It would make more sense if later
engines went to a Ford pattern to eliminate the adapter.
