I know I haven't posted pictures yet, honestly forgot about this thread. But here are some pics of the Allison 1000 behind my dt360. By changing the bellhousing and nothing else, the Trans bolted right up the dt360. It will do the same on the t444e flywheel housing as well as the cummins and all other dt series engines. Will on smaller detroits, cats, Perkins and more!

Also by the new setup, my rear shaft will end up a 5 inch 1 piece aluminum. No more crappy 2 piece steel! My transfer case output is less than 1 foot away from the carrier bearing bracket on the crossmember. So I can get away with a 1 piece at 78 1/2 inch long drive shaft I think was my measurement. That's too long for steel so aluminum is what's needed. Price also includes new slip yoke for the tcase output

Is that a built allison? I still can not see the point in this swap. You will still have to spend some good coin on the allison to get it to withstand more then 500hp. And if you are going to all the trouble to put in a dt360 why would you only want 500hp?


Not bashing on the build just trying to see the light at the end of this tunnel. Do they make an adpater to put the 4r/E4 behind the dt360?

Nope, 100% stock allison. Ill build it later down the road. No adapters for dodge trannys. Why would you want one a them Junkers anyway? And my dt360 will be 800+. But this thread is just to shed light on how to put an allison behind a 7.3 or 5.9 cummins or 6.0 Perkins or small detroits and cats. Since the dt360 uses mostly the exact same parts as the t444e (7.3) it's a good candidate to use as visuals for the 7.3 guys

He was actually referring to 2 different Ford trannies

Sorry, I read that wrong. Yes there is an adapter made by Carson stauffer to run a 4r behind the dt360. Check out pipewhiner's thread on psn. But I believe he's only around the 450hp mark iirc

Its not that much more expensive to build an Allison over a 4R100 or an E4OD to hold similar amounts of power. The Allison has the benefit of more gears and better gear spacing - the Ford based transmissions have the benefit of being able to shift faster. For a daily driver, towing, or even a pulling application - I'd take the Allison over the 4R100.

Bringing this back referencing the allison 6sp. Fit is perfect. I wonder if this project ever finished? Looks like it died mid way ;(

I am fixing to buy a 6spd Allison. I was also hoping for someone else that might have done this all the way to post. My biggest worry is finding a reasonable programmer to shift the dam thing. Any recommendations?

I already have a bts behind my dt360 but always wanted better gearing for this torque monster.

Caconversion and there’s another guy I can’t think of that sells the computers and wiring.

If you guys are looking to put an Allison behind a 7.3 - I have a Destroked adapter and flex plate that have never been used and would make a deal on since my project died and gave up its parts for other projects to live.
