rumore or not if you find an SAE isuzu you still need to adapt it to a tranny.

lift : its not the depth of the engine, its the fact that to clear the starter you need to favor the passenger side of the truck, where the pumpkin is. also, the higher you place the engine in the bay the less lift you'll need, i kept mine a bit low for center of gravity since i have all kinds of axle clearance. from looking at mine i'd say you could simply notch the oilpan a bit to clear with no lift at all, or i think a 2-3" lift would work ok. the oilpan will hit the pumpkin right on that oil return "hump" on top, but only the edge. maybe an inch, so a oilpan notch would be doable.
