Hello again everyone I am looking to replace my trusty 7.3 and not so trusty e4od.
I considered putting a dt360 in it with an Allison 545 but my truck is 4x2 and I would have had to swap in SFA because of the cross member (and I did not want a 545 that much)
Also I considered a 466 but it would have the above problem plus be too much for the drivetrain and frame.
But while researching (dreaming) I ran across a pic were a guy put a f350 ext cab long bed body on the frame of a short bus with a dt466.
So now it has me thinking
Pros:
Dt466(great)
Allison mt643 (lockup in 3rd and 4th)
Stronger frame
Very strong rear axle
Drivetrain already installed
Cons:
Heavy
Can't find a build thread for one
Not sure how tall the frame is (might be 14in for all I know)
Planning to go measure one next weekend just wondering if anyone has ideas or sees obios flaws that I can't
And if anyone knows we're a build thread on one is I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Christian
