MV-446 to 7.3ltr swap

[Old Codger]

HI there. First post for me. Appreciate any guidance.

I have a 2000 F-250 Ford that is rusted beyond reasonable repairs but runs very well. I also have a 1979 S-1924 medium duty International truck with an MV-446 that runs well but really likes (in copious amounts) gasoline. My question is will the flywheel housing bolted to the rear of the MV engine bolt to the rear of the 7.3ltr diesel? The engines, (from outward appearance) look very similar. Really no problem to source a T444E if needed as have one of those located also. The F-250, and IH truck I already have and would like to marry them up if possible.

Thanks,

Not a lot of medium duty truck guys here. From what little I know, might work.

Thanks, from basic measurements they have the same block dimensions but without pulling both engines, I can't tell if they have the mounting bosses, or drill and tapped bosses for mounting the flywheel housings to the back of the block(s).
