Allison transmissions are all across the board. You custom order a drivetrain to suit yourself.

I've seen some Isuzu NPR conversions and I wonder why these aren't popular. Lord knows those trucks are all over the place and aging.

I put a 3" exhaust with 6" round Magnaflows on my 6.2 Suburban and I felt a noticeable increase in power. I want to built a double stacked air cleaner with dual fresh air intakes on my 6.2 Jimmy,along with 3" pipes.
If you are going to stay naaturally aspirated, Hummer headers are a nice addition. They are tight fit on a truck, but they will work. It would be cool t see some of them on a 67-72 too.
