GM made a boat load more trucks with the 6.0 and diesel then they did with the 8.1.
The reason that guy used and 8.1 allison over any of the others is because the 8.1 allison used a tps input, whereas most allisons gleaned that information off a can bus between the ecm and tcm. Christopher tried doing that with his IIRC, but ran into issues when cruise control was being used, and switched over to pulling load from the j1939 circuit.
Also, again iirc, the tps input isn't a voltage/resistance based potentiometer, but a pwm based signal, which requires a different and more expensive tps compared to most commonly used tps.
