Allison 545-- Converter/VB???

[JMBryant]

I scored a 93 Ford school bus w/ 5. 9 cummins and Allison 545 auto, and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck finding anyone to beef up this transmission. I know it is not rated at much hp/tq from the factory but I figured as many as there are out there, some one must make some performance parts for them. I really would like to take the motor to 400-450hp and I just hate to trash this transmission in stock form, since it only has 77,000 miles on it. Any help would be great!!

Call Dave Goerand and ask him about it.

I didnt know if Dave built other trannys or not, besides a Dodge. I guess I will have to give him a ring and find out. Thanks. Anyone else know anywhere???

Well, it took a week to get ahold of him on the phone, but it paid off. Dave said he could build my converter, lower the stall speed and he said I would be good to go on my goal of 400hp. I have to say, it was worth the wait, as he seems like a great guy to deal with. Guess now I have to yank this transmission and get him my converter!!

I think Dave is a great guy to deal with. Glad it worked out for you.
