Hi Gino,
I'm looking at the squadron in action book on the M911 and M1070 and both general data charts show the same engine (500 HP) and transmission. The Meng box shows a CLBT -740, but in the data chart it says 754. Don't know what the difference is.
The M1070A1 has a different(larger -700HP) engine, the CAT C-18 and an Allison transmission, but its the 4800SP which has more torque.....

The last shipment of HT750 transmissions was in very late 2001,or late winter 2002. All were made of spare parts, and others machined in the tool room at ATD ($$$$!). There are few if any parts left as they all went to the NYC fire department.
The gearbox in the Meng kit if known as an HD model. Even then engine doesn't look like what was on the dynos. They used CAT and Cummins deisel engines.
