20 years ago it was possible to get B80s with the Allison TX200 automatics from scrapped FV432s out of Regina. But those days are long gone, as are those power-plants. Whereas the 8.2 liter Fuel pincher with the Allison MT635 are relatively easy and reasonably priced right now since the government scrapped the vast majority of the MLVWs in the past 5 years. The GM 8.2 is not a particularly good engine, but for limited mileage, and without the turbo, should give reasonable service.
