Allison 2000 series vs. 3700

The Allison 1000 and 2000 series are about the same size, length and diameter. The 3700 is about 20" larger and bigger around. Is it possible to connect a 3700 to a 5.9? Does the 5.0 have enough power to turn a 3700?

Yes, it has enough power to turn the transmission.

Might be a tiny bit overkill.

Specs.

not sure why you would run it? I guess 7 gears is nice if you do a lot ofhill climbing and want to downshift alot. and allison 2500 school bus transmission is 6 and 6th gear gives you a better overdrive..

a 3700 series is likely going to be expensive to obtain and then you need a converter and adapter ring for your engine.. I dont know if the 5.9 was natively and sae2 or not.. I think a #2 flywheel housing is available. for the cost and effort needed to drop a 3700 in, id be more likely to drop a 1000 or 2500 in...
