Tom-

You need an industrial grade transmission. Keep looking for the Allison or
other equivalent grade transmission. You'd be replacing the transmission
every 10,000 miles trying to move that bus around.

The Allison I have not only is much larger and heavier duty than the
torqueflight, it also has in-line filters, much like standard issue spin on
filters from the engine, like the Wix 1452 used on SV series engines. The
same is true of the fuel line from the fuel tank.

My next major project appears to be putting a 304 in my school bus so I can
drive it around instead of having to haul it. It should be a fun project,
altering the brackets for the power steering and air conditioning and all
that.

I wonder if anybody will want the fuel system from the diesel...
