Yea I don't want to cut out the floor and expand the truck body for it to fit, I have owned a Allison behind a 8.1 before it was very very strong however the parasitic loss was certainly noticeable between it and the 4l85e . I won't be towing anything large enough to warrant the Allison anyhow.

So looking at your thread there Doc.

I used the stock '72 bell housing and all of the stock clutch parts for my install. All that trick stuff is too rich for my blood....
