i can't let this topic slip away. i really want a detroit in a pickup but i can't seem to get any answers on transmissions here.

there are dealers around home that i can get all kinds of engine parts, even complete rebuilt engines of my choice. but the guys there know nothing about any adapters for gmc/chev transmissions.

i've seen and heard of these before, you can get adapters for detroit diesel engine flywheel housings to mate up with gm bellhousings.

anyone have any information on this, or whether or not gm bellhousing patterns match any SAE patterns?

i'm looking to get an NV4500 behind a detroit so i will at least have an overdrive gear, but before i even get started on such a project i need to make sure that the engine to transmission part is easily achievable

thanks
