IH used another totally different series of engines that mated up to that trans. I'm not sure if there were adapters used, or just other engines with the same bolt pattern.
Tractors like the IH 424 used the British diesel BD154, but when gas version they used the C146 instead of the British BC144. I've worked them and never noticed any adapters - but can't say it's something I was looking for.
I think the BC144 is a very good engine. If the block is sound, why change? The carb is no big problem. Just a British Zenith downdraft. It's a 30 mm carb very similar to the Solex carbs used on many small cars - including Volkswagens. I've fixed many and made my own gaskets - even though gasket kits, floats, and new accelerator pumps are still available new. Usually you make one new gasket, free up the stuck pump piston, and they work fine. That is, unless you've got the cheap VNN version that doesn't even have the pump. If so, it's even easier to work on. VN has the pump, and VNN does not.
As to the engine parts? Sleeves are the same as for a diesel and easy to buy right here on this Website. In fact, the diesel pistons might also work - but check first. Since the diesels are IDI and have flat-top pistons, the diesel pistons might work fine. That if the gas pistons are also flat-top and not dished (I can't remember). Worst case - if you don't want to buy a new kit - buy bare new diesel sleeves and fix the pistons with Hastings repair-shims.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
