I've emailed just about every performance trans shop I could find. All I could come up with is a converter from either BD Power, or Suncoast. I did find a guy called 1stgen 545 that actually made his own low stall, and manual valve body. That was a little promising seeing it on youtube. Went so far as one shop even told me to swap in a TH400 instead, because they already had performance parts for it. Can't say I remember seeing a turbo 400 with an SAE #3, but I never really looked.
That's about what I'm looking at with my Ford 6.6 swap. At least one shop said to try to fit an MT643 in. My idea is to get an AT1545, so I can have a lockup converter with the small package, then have someone make a low stall for it. I'm not so sure how much power it'll take after mods, and in a 4500 pound 67 F100. I was hoping for some better internals, like the low stall, Red Alto clutches, maybe an overhaul manual that shows what to adjust in the valve body. Any Allison gurus? My local shop just told me they only rebuild to stock. I'd much rather do everything myself....within reason.
