    Diesel Transplanted 80 series Registry

    Great job on the 80 series Isuzu 4BD1T conversion! From the pictures it looks like a good fit--not nearly as tight as it was for my 6.2/6.5 conversion. Like you, I stayed with a A440F transmission, which made the conversion much easier. Sorry to hear that the Duramax conversion into an 80...

I kept the GM engine wiring and integrated it...
