Good luck finding one. They have become quite popular, lately. I have been buying/swapping them for 15 years. The stock transmissions for the 3.9 liter 4bd1T/4bd2 are direct drive in 5th gear, making an adapter necessary.Look up isuzudieselswapper.com and you can find chevy and Ford adapters for this engine. I like the Cummins, but the Isuzu is a quieter, smoother engine that has a more useable rpm range range than the Cummins. The farmers in my part of the world value Isuzu over all others for irrigation pumps.My son drives a Scout II with a NV4500 and a 4BD1 that delivers 35 mpg(city).
