Yes, but GM was a separate division just as Allison was. That's why Allison transmissions are usually more trustworthy then GM designed 700R4s. You don't find too many Powerglides in big heavy equipment.
Detroit Diesel division was asked by GM to design, from the ground up, a light-weight power equivalent to the 305 gasser and with that basic design, they did all the development. No GM "Toro-flow" or "Olds 350" guys got their hands on it. GMC division designed the Toro-Flow diesel and it was an awful engine. Oldmobile designed the 5.7 and 4.3 diesels and they too were pretty awful at the beginning. No wonder GM finally asked DD to design them an engine.
