I believe there are some similarities. I think that some of the routing of lines may be different. But I would say the block and things should be similar or the same.

Should just be a 6BT 24V Cummins with an Allison 5 speed behind it. Pretty much bulletproof as a whole. Only quirk in a transplant might be the wiring interface to the new home, which may require a trip to a pro for wiring mods and a computer flash. I would have loved to have found one of these units when I built a 92 2wd Ramcharger about 10 years ago.

how hard do you think it would be to take the Allison out of the bus and put it in my 2001 dodge ram
