Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the reliable C263 cubic inch gas 6-cylinder engine that powered many International Harvester workhorses through the ’60s and ’70s. Whether you’re running a loader, cultivating corn, or handling hay operations, these tractors earned their reputation for dependable performance in all kinds of farm conditions.
Made to Last
The stepped head piston design in this kit matches the original configuration that made these engines so durable.

Installation Notes
This is a complete engine teardown job that requires removing the engine block and having cylinders professionally bored to fit the new sleeves. You’ll want to check connecting rod condition and crankshaft journals while you’re this deep into the rebuild. Most shops recommend replacing main and rod bearings during this type of overhaul.
