McCormick 420 Cotton Picker Engine

I have got some parts, mainly ignition and gaskets, for my Dad's old 1963 420 LP two row Cotton Picker. I remember his saying that the engine was similar to the one in a 560, but I never found out for sure if that is correct. Before I advertise anything online, I would like to know: what engine exactly, did they use, in these early gasoline and lp gas two row cotton pickers? All I remember is that they were six cylinder engines that sounded a lot like the truck engines of that era. Thanks.
 
Hugh,

The C263 gasoline and LP and D282 diesel engines were used in the 414 and 420 pickers. The D282 engine has a different timing gear cover that has to be changed to fit the 560 but it will fit otherwise. I would think the same would be true for the C263, but I have no knowledge or experience with that engine.
 
Thanks, guys, for all the help. I really appreciate it. Is seems like there is not a lot of interest in these old McCormick cotton pickers, but believe it or not, the farm that sits next to my Dad's farm, donated the IH one row cotton picker/M tractor, which is on display at the Smithsonian Institute! But thanks again to all, for the help.
