Curious if a Cat C9 from a Caiman MRAP fits in place of a 3126 in a A1 FMTV? Alternator not withstanding. I see some MRAP specs showing C7 with Allison 3700 and the Caiman with a C9.

does a C9 generally bolt in place of a c7? also will c9 computer (make sure it comes with it) talk to the allison with out an upgrade to a different Wtech? such as will you have to put different wire harness and solenoids in your allison and install a Wtech 4?Curious if a Cat C9 from a Caiman MRAP fits in place of a 3126 in a A1 FMTV?

I would not expect the frame mounts to fit but just wondering if there's enough volume in there to fit a C9. Thinking out loud. There's a lot of those power trains around I guess bc the Caimans got dropped. I doubt it would interface with the Allison without a bunch of babysitting. I see they used an exclusive cat power train on Caiman with the C9-Cx28-tcase all being cat. Probably simpler to just swap in the entire power train than trying to mate up the engine only.
