That trans wont work either, crank to converter issues, non pushbutton
compatible, different tailshaft setup and length, etc.

Hi Guys,  I have a 72  Pace Arrow motor home which is on a Dodge 
Chassis.  Lee was right about the engine, But I have often thought about

using the tranny  as a replacement for the old cast iron Torqueflight.  
I sure don't know why it wouldn't work and it would be plenty Heavy Duty

for the job.   Might be a crankshaft / Torque converter problem   Gary
