Thanks John, In searching for info on this swap, I have read that 3208's were put in Ford school busses in the mid 80's. I would assume that at least some or most of these had Allison's behind them. So is finding one of these bellhousings going to be that difficult or is that wishful thinking? And is a bellhousing and flywheel going to cost me an arm and a leg? I also found bellhousing SAE charts with their dimensions but could not find which bellhousing size the 3208 or the allison was. I could put the manual trans in my bus but really wanted to keep the auto for convenience and ease of driving but I am not anti-manual trans. Another good point with the u-joints. Hadn't thought of that one either. But I wouldn't think that would be a big issue in everyday, normal driving conditions. May find out I was wrong the hard way (on the side of the road, 300 miles from home!) Thanks |
