How much work do you want to do? How about as easy as bolting it right in?? 6 cyl power, gas or diesil. IH 6 cyl combine engines are a perfect canidate for an engine swap. C-221-C301 gassers, 282D will bolt up. To make it easy on ya,, if you unbolt a Farmall 460row crop from the engine plate forwards,,(front end included) remove the H engine, and slide the 460 front end right on to the H, all the bolt holes line up. Now what you have to do is,, put the H starter ring on the 460 flywheel,, anybody with a big lathe can do this,, use the H pilot bearing inplace of the 460,,, then you get you a Super H clutch disk and keep your 460 clutch. After all that,, it will start with the stock H starter, 6 cyl power and quite an attention getter if you stretch ou the H hood to fit over it. Call it a H6?? I turned my conversion into a look alike 460, you can make the 460 sheet metal work too. Just have to do some measuring, and planning. The front hood, grille, radiator is a bolt on deal in this swap, so you dont have to do a thing if you happen to find a junker 460 somewhere, and a IH combine out of service and has a good motor in it. After I put the H starter ring on the 460 flywheel, it was a matter of putting it all together, and that dont take long, but its the only BOLT IN conversion I know of and still be 100% IH. If you need more info, I have lots n lots of photos I can email you. ChadS
