I have a early 80's Ford school bus with a great running 370 gas motor and an Allison 4spd. But I want more power and mph! I have found a good CAT 3208 in a tank truck but it has a manual trans. I'm wondering if it will bolt to my Allison. I am not familiar with Allison transmissions but from what I've read I think it is a 545. Is the bellhousing bolt pattern the same? Will I need a different torque converter? Or, If the 3208 will not fit, is there a better or easier diesel to transplant??I understand that 3208's were in some Ford school busses in the mid 80's. I've got to do some measuring to see if the 3208 will physically fit in my bus and if it will I can make the swap but need some info about the trans since I have no idea. I appreciate any help. |
