I bet you guys had forgotten about this project huh?
Van is now almost completely gutted...
guess what this means?
Time for the body to come off and the Cummins to go in!!! It has to remain driveable for 4 more days but after that it's GO TIME
The good news is that I don't have a day job any more to get in the way so progress will be swift. Who's ready for a fun summer?!

I check on this story often. Even re-read some posts. It has been a help for me swapping a 12valve Cummins into my 1996 Ford Econoline bus.

Putting the Allison trans together today... In order for this trans to work with an NV271/NV273, the tailhousing needs to have an output speed sensor mount machined into the housing. I had been stalling on this chore for a while now because I didn't have a good way to verify that my custom designed tone wheel and the sensor were in the right place relative to each other. When things are fully assembled, you just don't have access to the tone wheel so getting a good measurement of the gap between the tone wheel and the sensor isn't happening.
Until now...
I 3D printed a part that mimics the whole assembly and slips over the output shaft with the bare housing in place. On one side I have the 'teeth' of the tone wheel to check the gap and another spot on the wheel has a bump that i'll use to hold the right depth while I tack the mount in place.
This is a great example of the value of a 3D printer (and Solidworks) for my business.

Looks like this forum doesn't have a "like" button, so I'll just do this:
