Im not hatin by any means... i think its a badass idea, but i dont think the idi forum is "the place" for it.. if you follow me. No different than if someone came in here asking advice/opinions to yank the idi and put in a: gasser, cummins, detroit, cat or anything but an idi for that matter. Now if he was pulling any of the above OUT for an IDI well sure i understand, but thats not the case.
We have a DT 360 / allison in an IH pumper truck... shes a little slow, id put it right on pace with our 6.9 IH truck. I think however the turbo is shot on the pumper, thing squals something feirce under load.

Food for thought
the easiest way to mount it would to get the front 2 cross-members out a f600+. then fab them to mount up and delete the one thats there already, you would need a d60 or d44 to do so. dodges have 1550 joint hub that can be found and 1550/1610 ******* joints can be bought. so if the allison gots a hub look for a 1610 hub if it don't got that size, it could have a 1810 on it. one that comes with a e-brake will have a flange an will make it easier to have a jackshaft made
