I forgot someone posted on here that they had seen a Allison auto behind a maggy motor, I have no info or links or proof but you might try a search about it.

Did some reading and the common take is $6k + for the transmission . Better to save 6 and put it toward a good old CTD :) maybe regearing would help a bit for onroad use. Thanks again
