3-speed automatic trans part needed. HELP!

I am doing some reasearch with an Isuzu guy to determine the interchangability of some of the 3L30(tracker 3-speed auto) and 4L30(isuzu) automatic transmission parts. I am interested in the Isuzu bellhousing which would allow us to bolt a GM 60* V6 engine to a tracker 3-speed auto, making a V6 swap into our samis and trackers a hell of alot easier. He is interested in Isuzu guys being able to bolt in the OTT T-case doublers.

What I need from a 3-speed transmission is the adapter between the transmission and the T-case, its about 2 inches thick. Someone must have a junk 3-speed laying around they could get this part off of for me.

This research is starting to look promising, that part would help. He is sending me a bellhousing to try to match up.
Here is a pic of the GM 60* V6 bellhousing if someone has a tracker 3-speed that they could look at and see if the bolts that mount it to the transmission match up:

another thing I have herd of is (I think) there is an Isuzu bell housing that will bolt up to the toyota tranny alowing a stronger tranny and duel transfer cases

One that's rare, but possible, is to mate the Isuzu 3.2L V6 (205 HP) to a Toy R151F or R150F transmission. I'd actually be surprised if anyone with a Toy has done this engine swap yet, but this is how '98 and newer Isuzu Amigos and Rodeos are able to add a Marlin crawler. For more details, ask Marlin himself - who helped discover this oddity, or look in the Isuzu forum here or at 4x4wire. That engine also now has an aftermarket supercharger, with similar performance to the TRD supercharger on the Toyota 3.4L V6.
Here's an archived Isuzu thread at 4x4wire that explains a lot of it. http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=264689&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

And Corbin's '98 Isuzu Amigo with R151F tranny.
Belly Dragger's '98 Isuzu Amigo with R150F tranny.

Try searching this topic...hahaha

I care about your cause! But I can't give you my adapter just yet, I may need it! This could be something promising for sure. I think you'll have to find someone away from the BBS or suzuki knowledge... what your looking for is like a "holy grail" lately.

blue zuk, its not my first engine choice thats for sure. It can be built to be a pretty good motor. You can get some power out of it and make it reliable. The parts that might work happen to fit a 2.8 so thats what I got to work with

The gm 2.8, isn't that what one of the guys runs in his zook (or buggy now) over at Pirate... a Camaro(sp?) engine?

I'll get the measurements for you this week... I have to dig the tranny out... everything is nice and neat in the shop since I cleaned it and accordingly, it is harder to get to.

I got the GM 60* V6 bellhousing today. Does anyone have a picture (ZOOK94?) of the back of the tracker bellhousing so I can compare the oil passages. I should have took one when I had it apart but I didnt.
