I just spoke with NIMCO, they don't have any V-730 kits in stock -- been out for over a year. For those just coming into the movie, we're planning to put a V730 into the 4107 (Serial 1180). Having decided to keep it, I'm convinced that I can't teach Phyllis to drive a bus, a stick, and a Spicer non-synchromesh at the same time. She's the impetus behind keeping the coach, so I have to get it set up so she can drive -- at least in an emergency.
The mechanic who has the bus has a V-730, but we need a spacer. Apparently, it goes between the engine and transmission to minimize the size of the hole through the bulkhead. He also says he'd have to make (or shorten the existing) driveshaft.
Does anyone know where I can get the spacer, and maybe even the right driveshaft?

Is this an Allison part? If so get the # and Google for starters? If you have a # there are a lot of places that may help. Goodluck. Tom Y
