Those Allison engines were a dime a dozen in the '50s and '60s, so a lot of speed freaks built cars with them. They were seen in race cars, land speed record car, boats, tractors, and other odd ball applications. The used motors were cheap, but building a car to handle the weight and driveline to hold the torque, was expensive.
