I found out my wood chipper has a 330 Ford industrial engine. I found this out when I tried to get a manifold gasket set. What is the difference between the industrial engines and the truck or car engines? Thanks stan

One thing that has not been mentioned is I think the 330 was balanced internally and the 332 externally.
I could be wrong.

We ran 300 Ford industrials on irrigation pumps. The automotive engines have lower life parts like cheap aluminum oil pumps and fibre composite cam and crank gears that won't stand up to 24/7 365 use. Bought a few cheap automotive 300s and first thing we did was tear them down and put in aluminum cam and crank gears and a real oil pump like the industrial Fords had to make them last. Running on natural gas we would also put hard seats under valves later when time for valve job.

Well, fools rush in where angels (Angels) fear to tread...
I would guess anywhere from minor to major differences, depending on the individual engine and what the engine was designed for...
Basically, car engines are the most "flexible": they develop acceptable power over a wide range...truck engines, esp with many gears, usually develop power over a narrower range, using the gears for power or cruising...ind/power units are often meant to perform in a very narrow rpm range, often for long periods and while immobile.
Differences could be in carbs/injection, comb chamber shape, manifolding (int and/or exh); ign timing/duration, valve timing/lift/open period; internal or external cooling, metallurgy of parts...the list goes on and on. Yours apparently has different manifolding, and may have others not visible from the outside. With sympathy, Bud

Some industrial engines are identical to automotive engines..Others are not..Many differences are as simple as carburetors , governors and waterpumps..Others are complex as customized pistons , cams , stellite valves depending on application..I've got a 330 in my service truck..It's a pig in a heavy truck , might be OK in a chipper..
