FINALLY...I got an Allison tech over to check out some fabbing/cobbling details on the transmission and he thinks they just might work. Had to make an adapter to fit on the Cummins throttle lever so I could hook up the Allison's TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Also had concerns about how best (and where) to mount the TCM (Transmission Control Module). Have them solidly in place now and really hoping I don't have to relocate anything. Spent part of today securing all the fancy, new wiring harness stuff.

Made some headway in the cooling department as well. Had to make a custom charge air cooler (CAC) and radiator package in order for it all to fit into that narrow, Art Deco nose but it came out pretty nice I must say. Well...at least it's shiny. Still waiting on a bunch of plumbing hardware to hook up the CAC. All coming from China (SURPRISE) so no telling when or if it will get here.

Just gotta' keep at it.
