I called my dealer today and they said the parts arent interchangeable. Have any of you swapped these diesel heads before and is there any thing I need to know about the swap?

Isn't the 192 industrial 4 cylinder a 172 but with just a bigger bore than what was used in tractors.

Most direct injected diesels have flat surface heads with bowl style pistons. Changing one flat surface head for another won't change compression at all, IF they are both flat, no matter what the CID change is.

Have an early 1960's #200 Timberjack cable skidder with an 172ci gas Ford industrial engine. Want to replace with a diesel and add a few hoursepower. I have located a good 201ci diesel out of a Ford 5000 tractor, will be an easy swap or should I stick with either a 192 or last resort 192 diesel engine. I copied this from a former post. The head looks the same but has different casting numbers. I just wonder what the difference, if any, would be in the casting design.

The 201 (which would be out of a 4000; 5000's had
either 233's or 256's, depending on the year) will not
be a direct swap by any means - different
bellhousing bolt pattern, and I think a different front
mounting pattern as well.

The 201 three cylinder was in late 4000 tractors, 5000 had either 233 or 256 four cylinder engines. I'd rather have a 201,233, or 256 as they are much better engines that the 172 diesel.

Someone with company that deals with Ford Power Products (Ford industrial engines) could answer that. Since the 192 was never used in Ford agricultural, or construction equipment it can't be found in the agricultural, or construction on line parts books for Fords.
