Importing from France would be your best bet as they are already LHD.
All you would need to do is have the dealer switch the odometer from kilometers to miles.

Thumbs down
international no longer makes the powerstroke, ford gave them the boot and is making their own again. (and speaking as tow truck owner with the extreme displeasure of having a power stroke and dumping endless piles of money in diesel garbage, it would have to be a cummins or gas.)

It is just over 400lb/ft and around 230hp If I remember correctly from my service truck which was a Ford LCF with the V6 powerstroke

I have an 85 BMW 745i turbo running 16psi of boost. on 98 octane fuel it puts about 399hp to the rear wheels and around 496lb/ft torque and the 4hp22 has never let me down.
