Rob that would be fantastic, I have a nice running powerpack with attached Allison XTG-411 I was lucky enough to obtain from MCB Pendleton in California, but no ancillaries so I am trying to figure out not only how they hook to the final drives but the steering, shifting and breaking...The Israeli's have a company called Nimda that would put these packs in captured T-55 and T-62's, I want to attempt the same...but I am not clear on how they took the pack which drove the front sprockets of the M109 and had it driving the T-55 from the rear...they must have some way to reverse the gearing? From my rudimentary understanding if you simply swapped it to the back you would end up with several reverse gears vs one forward gear would you not? Thoughts?
