Well guess what, it had an Allison tranny and it was bolted up with out any aditional adapters or anything else. So, that means that if I can get the right part #s we maybe on to a way to put a nv4500 or something else made in the USA behind this little 3.9. I am going to try to get more info about these engine rings from GMC truck or Isuzu.

You might well be right about the Allison attached to an Isuzu. Right now there is a 6-cyl Isuzu turbo diesel with an Allison tranny on ebay.

I emailed the seller to find out more. It is a 6-cylinder but it may share the bell housing bolt pattern with a 4-cyl. Very interesting!
