Hi,
I just recently bought an Allison HT740 to mount to the back of my Big Cam Cummins NT855 350 however, the flexplate that I had will not mount to the current flywheel/torque converter that is on the transmission. From what it looks like it seems that the ring gear is made onto the flywheel and from what I was told before I bought the transmission with the flexplate I possess which also has the ring gear on it that it would bolt right up to the torques converter kind of like your standard GM flexplate to torque converter. Now I researched the transmission before I got it and I know you can mount it to a Big Cam Cummins but everybody that has done it doesn't want to share how they actually mounted it and I contacted Allison but since longer support the transmission they have no information for me. So basically sorry about the long rambling my question is does anybody have any information on how to mate the transmission up to the engine? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Look to the army surplus world. I believe a small cam flex plate will work with that.
I have one in the junk and will look but I do not thank I have the flex plate.OllysCustoms Thanks this. -

Old one was put back in the military storage container the replacement came in. Some pictures might be good. It has been a long time.

Here's the pictures of the one on the transmission:

Then here's the flexplate that I have:
-
The transmission seems to have some sort of flexplate that bolts inside what I assume is the flywheel. When I took the bolts out, there are four plates and the eight bolt holes in the center don't line up with the six bolt holes of the Cummins. I noticed at Vanderhagg they had a flexplate for an HT740 that went to a Big Cam Cummins but is no longer available and there was no part number. I checked the rest of today and can't find anything on the web.
