I would just try and talk to a Delphi Rep and see what they have to say. I know they make injectors for these motors, so they could at least give you the specs.
I noticed JD carried Standadyne (SP?) injectors. Not sure if they made injectors for this truck or not, but you could contact them too. I would think IH made the stock injectors.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if there are some IH tractors running around with the same injectors?

pic up to date
it looks like the broken piston hit the rod at some point but theres no marks i saw on the rod? funny well im getting new pistons anyway just makes me wonder if this could have been an issue
and the weirdest part was that i did not find any metal in the oil pan at all that would tell the part broke
the machining on the crank is still there and the journals look almost new
