The F-650 and up can only get a Cummins or a Cat, because International builds the same class trucks.

It's a 5.9. I have a 5.9 in my 2000 F650. It just looks bigger because it exposed and not stuffed between fenders.

I have never seen an International inline six in any Ford truck that came from the factory.

I see those F650 5.9's have air compressors next to the Vp-44, wonder if you could squeeze one on a dodge 5.9 and have it for running bags and what not.

Agreed. I'm not saying it's not true, but I've never seen a Ford with an Inline International either. I've seen them with the old V Configuration engines.

I don't think our engines use the same timing case. Freightliner's use the 5.9 as well in garbage trucks, etc. Generally those engines will actually say ISB on the timing case, while ours don't say anything. I could be wrong though..
