There are far more qualified powertrain folks on this forum than I, but I think you are on the right track in making sure the Allison trans in the Bounder is set up to accept your Cummins 5.9. If you have the storage space to temporarily have access to your rig as well as the Bounder, $3k would buy you a lot of MH if you have the ability and tools to swap in the engine from your rig. If you feel that the engine swap project is too much for you to take on, where do you think you would go to get estimates for the job? Fellow forum members, what do you estimate the job would cost?
If you go ahead with the project, please take plenty of photos and post updates to this forum. Most of us here would love to follow your progress.
