It seems as if there are a couple new options for putting a newer tunnel trans in an older split trans bus. Looks like the only alterations needed are to the nose cone-anyone use them yet? I read a long post a while ago- but there was many different opinions and creative ways people were doing the conversion- these look a lot cleaner/simpler/and better? What's the consensus on them?

The nosecone kit from Concept1 as about as good as it gets. Rave reviews-their ad is on the featured classified section right now. If I owned a split case bus I would use it in a heartbeat.

We have a thread in the FAQ dedicated to this so I am going to direct you there:
Tunnel-case / Split-case nosecone mounts

The Concept 1 adapter is discussed beginning on page 2 of the thread above.

There is also another thread regarding this in the Bus FAQ:
Installing a tunnel transmission into an early split-case transmission Bus
But the one above is longer and more current
