What ya'll think about the idea of putting an Allison 1000 or 2000 series 6 speed transmission behind an IDI? Ran across a company that makes adapter kits to put the Allison in all kinds of different vehicles, I asked them if they had one for the IDI and they told me they are working on the appropriate adapter and flex plates (and standalone electronics for it) for both the 6.9/7.3 NA and 7.3 Turbo motors, expected availability toward the end of the year.

I'll tell you I'm getting a bit tired of listening to the gear roll over from my SMF flywheel on my ZF, I would go back to DMF if you could still find new ones, and I've never liked how high reverse is in the 5 spd. The conversion to the Allison would not be cheap... what ya'll thoughts on it? I would lean toward the close gear ratio version.
