" *The '03 or '04 Isuzu's now use the AW tranny again behind the 3.5. In 
" doing so, they produced a new bellhousing to mate the two. This bell 
" bolts to the 60 deg Chevy pattern in the 3.5 block. So, after my engine 
" swap, I'll be able to get a bell housing from Isuzu that'll bolt this 
" new drivetrain to my 4.9 Caddy motor. Will need to figure out a torque 
" converter / flexplate for it, but that's a pretty minor issue I think.

late flash: xj 2.5s used aw4s '87-'93.  they have the requisite bell
too.

the tundra converter might be a good starting point for the 4.9.

i think it would be interesting to put the caddy 4.9 into an early
t5-equipped xj.  rebuild the tranny with ford svt t5 guts.  regear the
axles, maybe just swap later 4.0 axles in.  it's a comparatiely
big-inch torque motor; it doesn't need a lot of gear.

" Now the shifter..., ooh, I really love this... here...
" 
" 
" is a Volvo Geartronic shifter from an S60. A perfect match for a 
" manually shifted auto tranny.

is the s60 rwd?  i'm not up on my late-ish model volvos, but i do know
they also used the aw4/a340/30-40le auto tranny on rwd models.
