Ithe T444e PSD WAS a turbo diesel from get go.
The IDI 6.9/7.3 were but still had gas equals, different heads and crank. MV404/443 per international. Most if not all V8 diesels from International had gas equals before about 1985 or so, when they quit using gas motors in there MDT trucks. They used the same block to make both the gas and diesel motors back in the day.
Reality, a smart move on there part from a supply side of things. Also made one heck of a strong gas block.
Toyota IIRC also had some gas/diesel 4 banger blocks back in the 50's/60's also.
