nah he just misread the diesel power mag article hahaha

"Injection Connection
The HEUI technology that debuted in the 7.3L Power Stroke was actually developed by the Caterpillar Engine Division in Pontiac, Illinois. It was the result of a joint venture between Caterpillar and International Truck. The system debuted on the International 7.3L engine before it was ever offered on a Caterpillar diesel. The original engine was known within International as the T444E (T for turbo, 444 for the number of cubic inches the engine displaced, and E for electronic controls). When it was installed in a Ford, it became known as the 7.3L Power Stroke."

I just had the 4 cylinder Cat diesel in our mini excavator apart a couple weeks ago.

Almost funny how much it looked like 1/2 of a 6.9 IDI engine inside.
