These light Isuzu engines were a very popular engine for swaps in Uruguay, and it's still not hard to find some American cars from the 50's to the 80's repowered with them. Sure gearing helps, and replacing those direct-drive 3-speed and 4-speed for the overdrive 5-speed originally bolted to the Isuzu is a good move on that matter.
