Allison in a powerstroke?

[PSD-BLACK-CLOUD]

If I could geta freshly built allison for a few 100 bucks from a friend along with the tq converter. Would it be worth be doing the swap. And could it be tuned for my truck or would I have to change abunch of **** out? The only reason he is selling is his injector hung and blew the motor. The trans had just been rebuilt.

You need to find out what the MD trucks use for a standalone computer. The rest of the issues can be figured out with machining and welding.

Destroked didnt have an adapter plate.

 

[Worstenemy453]

You would need to do the controller as said above and then do an adaptor plate of some sort.

 

[PSD-BLACK-CLOUD]

I wonder how much that controler would run?

I think you said the trans was built as in upgraded but Im not sure?

Any chance he wants to part with the rest of the truck for crazy cheap like he did with the trans?

 

[PSD-BLACK-CLOUD]

He is only getting rid of all the 04 stuff. He put an 06 engine and trans in it.

By the time you pay for the controller, adapter and all the odds and ends you'd be further ahead upgrading your trans.

Ummm... there is absolutely nothing wrong with the capability of the stock Allison computer and wiring harness. You just need to get it bolted to the motor.

Hmmmm..........Would the allison tq converter work too?

Why wouldn't it? That torque converter seems to work in the original application just fine. :shrug:

Because the allison would cost me less than suncoasts rebuild kit. And an adapter plate say 750. I should still come out ahead vs. building the 5r100 pluss I dont like the way it shifts. My allison shifted better in my opinion.

Tail shaft adapter for the trans case, drive shaft length might have to be adjusted. There is more to it then dropping it in and going.

Didnt think about that

Buy the allison and resell it, then use that money to put a good 5r or BTS 4r100 in it

I like the idea of a built 4R100 after reselling the Allison.

More issues than its worth if its a factory rebuild. Limp mode sucks with those. I doubt the convertor will work. Ford flex plate to allison convertor. Adapter plate to bell housing. Driveline changes. Mounts. Shifter linkage. To much work unless its built

How much would that cost?

Just rebuild yours.
