    So you have an adapter plate lined up for it? I wouldn't be worried about the tcase not holding the power, I think it'd be ok, but I would rather have a manual case than the TOD so there is less parts to fail just in case.

    You're right I think our stock tranny would blow before the t-case

    Ya but since he's using the 4L60E that's behind it it should be ok just needs a plate for the tcase so it can bolt up. I would try to get the H3 4:1 tcase and make that work, it's passenger drop!

    I wonder if the plate was in the $2,000 install cost?

    possible, I think that 4:1 case would be sick though. If they make a plate have them keep the dimesnions etc so we can see about mass producing it!

    I thought the hummer tc was a driverside drop and that ours would just bolt right up.

    No they are weird and have a passenger side drop. And no the isuzu tcase pattern is not the same as the GM, it won't bolt up. And the Suzuki conversion isn't any easier than ours really. You could swap in a V8 fairly easy if you've done swaps like it before. Just pick the right motor combo.

    Seriously, I'd rather put the VW TDI 1.9L into the suzuki, that way you get 260lb/ft of torque (after ECU flashing) and 45mpg. I'd use parts from the jeep vw tdi kit on the VX, fab up the adapter plate and modified flywheel (or use the modified jeep one), use our tranny with an external 4L60E shift controller and run with it.

    That'll be sick if you get that Tcase set-up. And I wouldn't bother with the 4L30E behind the TDI Atilla, why go through the work of swapping that motor in and leave the 4L30 behind it? Also the 4L60E controller wouldn't work with the 4L30E, they are completely different.
