It is on the same block, however, is quite a bit weaker. Im not sure of the actual HP and TQ ratings, im sure someone here will have them.
The VT365 may seem to be weaker than the PSD, but this is not the case. International governs the engines at lower RPM, therefore the HP is lower. Peak torque is 460-620 (depending on the tuning) at 2600 RPM in the VT-365.

With the 7.3 PSDs you couldn't fit an intercooler in the van. There is an intercooler in the van with the 6.0 but I imagine that it is smaller than the one used in the pickups and the X. I would also guess that the radiator is smaller.

One of the techs that has been working on my truck told me that, very encouraging 
I assume then, most of the parts on the 6.0 truck engine and van engine are interchangeable?

Yes, most of the parts are the same. You can also use a lot of the International parts which I try to do as often as possible on my truck because they are usually about 1/2 the price of Ford. All of the PSDs are based on the International engine, but Ford doesn't sell an engine under the International label even in the F750.

it was my understanding that all the VT365s are the same (International and Ford). Only differences being the ECMs. Technically you could take the engine out of a Ford put it in an International w/ proper wiring harnesses and it will run all day long w/o any problems. The only differences i can see is the engine mounting other than that all the same. I do know Fords version uses some type of a different intake w/ a butterfly valve. All in all from the valve covers down are all the same.
