Ford industrial engine interchange

[avjz79]

Anyone know if a 200 6 cylinder Ford Industrial engine out of a 1975 swather bolt up to a 1966 4500 Ford tractor? Not concerned about the ignition wiring, or throttle linkages , just curious if the bell housing bolts up as well as the front mounting is the same. I hear all Ford tractor engines from the Ford NAA to the 6000 series (3 and 4 cylinders) are all interchangeable but not sure on the 6 cylinders.

Nope. Have use Ag or industrial 65 up. No automotive engine will bolt with out lots of adapting and engine block is part of the structure of unit. That 200 cid has no structure value.

The 223 and 262 6 cylinder will bolt up to the 4 cylinder models NAA and up without adapter. Don’t think the 200 with bolt up to your 4500 without an adapter

will all the industrial/ag/tractor/car engines that were 3 or 4 cylinder bolt right up? or are the automotive ones different?

Most 4 cylinder industrial engines were based on the Red Tiger design used by the 1953-1964 Ford tractors. Those 4 cylinder Industrial engines will only be a direct replacement for those 4 cylinder 1953-1964 tractors. The 3 cylinder industrial engines were all based on the 3 cylinder design used on 1965+ 3 cylinder tractors. Any of those should bolt right up to your 4500 or any other 1965-1993 3 cylinder tractor.

Also, most car engines were not designed to be a structural part of the frame of the car, and so they should not be used to replace tractor engines even if they might bolt up, as the tractor engines were designed to be, and are, a structural part of the frame of the tractor.

Is the 6 cylinder 200 industrial engine a car engine? I didn't think they put industrial engines in vehicles

The basic difference between the two is Industrial has belt driven governor and maybe different carb. Could be used on genset or air compressor.

I'm not sure on that engine, but since it's not a tractor engine I would guess that it was more likely designed as a truck engine, but still probably not designed as a structural part of the vehicle..

The frame work on the loader a 4500 uses r doesn’t allow much version in engine length
Those tractors came with a 201 3 cylinder, same engine as used on 4000, 4600, 4610, early 4630 and a number of industrial models

There are a number of other models that used the same engine as well in the Utility and Industrial lineup:
4000SU
4400
455
455C
515
531L CG
530A LCG
530B LCG
532

Used in the Versitile 400 swather, as well. Possibly other swathers/s.p. mowers.

Car engine. Pickups had the 240 and 300, cars had the 170 and 200. And yes, NOT structural.
