1978 body on 76 highboy frame DTA360 swap

I am planning to start my first engine swap sometime this coming April. I bought a 1991 International 3800 school bus for a very good price and I am planning on swapping the the DTA360 along with the allison 3 speed auto into my 1978 ford on a 76 highboy frame. Before I start the swap I would like to know as much as I can about the motor, I have read some things but I would like more information regarding just the regular maintenance and where many of the different components are located, I have done work on the 6.9 ford diesel before but being a different motor is a new realm for me. Any help would be appreciated.
