A friend put the Chevy 8 speed in his 68 Dart, with electronics was over 7 grand. I would look into the 727 and the over drive that bolts to the tail shaft (can’t think of the company). Also have to redo the rear trans mount to even do the factory od trans. Copes trans with adapter might be the best, they all will need an adapter. I’m looking to do same in my 79 truck, I have a 92 trans that I’m going to cut off the front part and weld the big block piece to it. like the factory SHOULD have done. I’m measuring now to see where the two cases match up. Even thought of using the Ultra Bell bolt on housing.(cut trans housing off and then it bolts to the front pump) Look up PATC they have the wiring kit you need.

I have an adapter kit for putting a small black transmission behind a bit block up for sale. Pm me if interested. It's the plate, flexplate, flexplate spacer, and bolts.

John at https://www.coperacingtrans.com says he loans an alignment tool he made to get the adapter perfectly dialed into the crank centerline, using a dial indicator, made out of an old SB bell. It seems that perfect alignment is not a given, so his plate pins are eccentric.

Keep an eye on your local Craigslist or facebook marketplace for a 2wd Ram with a V10 automatic in it. You can get the whole truck for about a quarter of the price of the re-builds you listed.
Dump the 413 and put the V10 auto in your RV. You will be miles ahead.
If you still want to keep the 413, go to the autowrecker and they will do a search for you for a pre-1998 47rh. You will probably get one for under a thousand dollars and get a 30 day warranty.

Factory computer engine management, 450 ft/lbs torque, overdrive, dead reliable, cheap, turn the key and go anywhere RV?
Other than lack of fabrication skills, not really sure why anyone would question a V10 swap, Doc?
I have a Ford V10 in a triple slide 30 foot RV and there is not one single time where I thought a carbureted big block anything would be better.

Ignoring the parts situation I think the V10 swap is an awesome upgrade. The '96 and newer V10's got sequential port injection and a slight HP bump if my memory isn't falling apart.

If I had the time for a full swap with computers, mounts, gas tank pump and all I agree the V10 is a good motor. I can put the 47RH in in an afternoon, and the 413 purrs and pulls great - 71 was the highest HP year. My 97 B3500 has the 47RE with all upgrades and over 120k miles now on the rebuild. 200k on the OEM engine. I do intend to check the yards nearby as I want some 90s Dodge captains chairs.

AFAIK there are no Allison adapters There are but good luck finding one. Industrial applications such as street sweepers could be a source. IF you can find one of the FL series (FL50 ~ FL80, I think?) Freightliners equipped with an Allison and 360 or V10 you'd have one. BIG IF, damned few built, let alone with the $12,000 optional Allison.

I love the seats in my 97 B3500, I've sat for nearly 10 hours at a time without pain across the West. Sad that so many others do not take care of their upholstery.

Ray, the computer, or controller, is available for the 8 speed. Sound German Automotive makes them. I've been thinking about putting an 8 speed in my barracuda, behind a hopped up small block. I just don't want to cut up the trans tunnel to get it in there. I know it will bolt up but not sure what is needed to have the proper connection between the TQ and the flex plate. There are 2 that make TCMs for it https://www.soundgermanautomotive.com/pcs/https://htg-tuning.com/but no physical adapters to the RB blocks. You'd think someone could; if they have the CAD for the 440, and the CAD for the ZF end, why not?
