Hmmm. I should have read this before I replied below... Anyhow, that doesn't change what was said.
Best thing would be figure out what you've got.... What that is would be anybody's guess. If it's badged as a 4610 from the factory, and all the numbers match, then you've got me stumped. Something's got to give. It most likely has the 256 cid engine from the 5610. It could have the 268 from the 6610. At a glance, those engines would look the same. Physically, they're the same size. The blocks, head and so on are the same. The difference is simply in the length of the stroke. They have the same bore. If nothing else you could determine the stroke if or when you have problems, and go from there.
Also, to the trained ear, one could establish a 256 from a 268. The 268, at torque speed has a sound that only it could produce... that of the crank sounding like it's about to leave the block, but doesn't. They have one of the most foul rotten clangs of any engine I've ever heard. The 256 isn't quite so bad with it's shorter stroke...
The only other thing I can think of would be to take the model number off the information tag, and go to a NH dealer. They should be able to decode that for you. I'm not up on decoding the model numbers... Also, double check that the engine code number (8j6a) is found on the information tag under the hood. They should match. Beyond that, I'm at a loss as to what to tell you....
