thanks for the info, so these international and ford parts are absolutely interchangable with no modifications necessary?

our motors are a international motor. international makes our motor. they refer to it as the T444E though but they are in fact the same motor. when you take off your valve cover you will see a sticker on the top that says international on it. some parts you have to get from the dealer though because international only stocks the base motor parts. so everything that ford bolts onto the motor they wouldn't have.

The last time I went to International to by some parts for my truck, they arrived at the counter with a Ford logo on the wrapper.
There is no difference in quality, just the price.

yep here is an example.

Gasket,
Ford= $85
international= $83

UVCH
ford= $91
international= $45

fuel heater
ford= $128
international= $32

you get the picture some things they are about the same and others they blow ford out of the water. so i just assume buy from them always.
