Your dreams are still very much within your grasp. Its one of the most common drivetrain combos out there, man.

Gracias. If anyone sees a good bus with the DT466/Allison 2000 series transmission, please pm me. I'd be willing to drive it back from a few states away. I'm in Minnesota, so upper Midwest would be prefereable.

Thanks!

Thanks for those links!

Does anyone have any experience with the Brazilian made Ford 6.6 liter turbo inline six?
