Why not just pick an old Lancer Evo and get all the fun of the Laser/Talon/Eclipse (I hope you mean to get the AWD versions) plus two more doors and a slightly more functional back seat?
Personally, this topic has had me torn for the last few days. I think I may want this:
1. Alfa Romeo GTV6 (Modded tastefully and making 300HP or so)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he not just post 5 cars, all of which are exactly the same car underneath?

He did. But don't tell him. He would be heartbroken.

For the Suburban there, not sure if the Allison 1000 will even bolt up to a Cummins (doesn't it have an integrated chevy bell?). But I know the bigger Allisons out of busses came mounted to 6bt's stock (standard SAE #2 bellhousing like any big truck) so they'll bolt right up. Of course, since a fully dressed 24 valve is nearly 1400 lbs (compared to around 850-900 for a fully dressed 6.5), at least throw a d60 under the front. Too much engine for the 9.25 IFS junk to handle.

Ya know, hypothetical dream and all.
I've seen it done a few times before. Not nearly as common as other combos, but it must be possible. And since this is hypothetical, why not a Dana 60 up front and a Dana 80 in the rear? Works for me.
I could probably buy a whole big 6 speed out of a bus or other big truck with bell, flywheel, and starter for that kind of money. I know there was a 90's 3500HD rolllback in the diesel shop of the trucking school I went to with a 12 valve 6bt hooked up to an Allison. Not sure if it was the little one out of a chevy or a big MD truck kind. Oh, and it had a D80 too (37 spline 10 lug chevy version).

hmm. Means I could probably find a mid 90's 3500HD and just swap most of the drivetrain into a suburban. Never knew GM offered a Cummins in the 3500HD.

I knew what you were refering to, though I thought they used a 10 lug front end too. And I'm pretty sure I've seen a few 3500HDs with 8-lug front/rear. Guess it could depend on the year and model. (C/K)
Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've seen a 4x4 3500HD... Edit: Nope, no 4x4 versions from the factory. And it does appear they all had 5 lugs up front, I must have been thinking of the F-450 or something.
