They did but, not anymore. The 8.1 and DMAX could be had with the Allison but, the 6.0 was 4l80E (now 6L80E, I think is the name for the new six speed heavy duty non-Allison?). I could be wrong but I think the 8.1 was also available with the 4L80E too but, I doubt there musta been many takers on the 4L80E with having the Allison as an option!!! As mentioned though, no more 8.1 anymore.

I had a '85 chevy school bus with a 366 BBC and an Alison behind it. 545 I think. The Alison had a SAE bolt pattern, and a cast iron adapter plate to mate it to the BBC. Big SOB. It could be put behind a SBC no problem, but unless you're mud racing/pulling, completely not the right thing. I don't know if they were all that way, but mine was hella loud (gear whine on straight cut gears) and shifted hard enough to snap your neck back -- not in a fun way.
