Find someone a Navistar dealer who does a lot of school-bus work, almost every one on the road today is powered by a Power stroke mated to an Allison automatic, in fact the standard bell-housing for it is a Ford pattern, anything else is a special order. The most likely problem you may encounter is that the Allison is physically larger and some modification of the floor and cross-member may be required.

The only other consideration is Mr. Franklin ($$$$) these transmissions are NOT cheap, and to that the cost of installation and modification and it may turn out to be far cheaper to just buy a different truck.

Best of luck.
