According to my copy of "International Harvester Trucks", IH management screwed up again during the gas "crunch" of the early '70's. All major engine makers were looking to develop a V-8 diesel. Ford came to IH truck division & offered some $ because they knew IH was working on investigating how it's 5 main bearing V-8 gas engines might be able to use that block design for diesel use.
Ford's deal was that it would put up a bunch of $ that IH could use for R&D. Then Ford wanted to buy "X" number of the engines for Ford to use at what it cost IH to make them.
