Allison transmissions are all across the board. You custom order a drivetrain to suit yourself.
I've seen some Isuzu NPR conversions and I wonder why these aren't popular. Lord knows those trucks are all over the place and aging.
I put a 3" exhaust with 6" round Magnaflows on my 6.2 Suburban and I felt a noticeable increase in power. I want to built a double stacked air cleaner with dual fresh air intakes on my 6.2 Jimmy,along with 3" pipes. |
the new ford 6.7 is made in house.
if i was doing a diesel conversion today, i would do either a 12 valve or a new 6.7 iron-graphite block thats nice and light. matched to a powerglide from a 6.0 ford, it can handle more power than the allison.(allisons are very overrated.)
