With enough money anything is possible. They do make an LS1 swap kit and its essentially the same motor so I would assume with a little tweaking it should fit.

4x4 garage just had a spread in their fall edition. LS V-8 (5.3L and 6.2L) but it's mated to a 6 speed auto 6L80 tranny. Company is Motech out in Las Vegas.

I have been doing a lot of looking into this. Robbie at MoTech was great to talk to and I plan on using his kit in conjunction with Novak's adapter that bolts the 05-06 6Spd NSG370 to a GM engine. The 07+ NSG370 has a smaller bell housing so you will need to get a 05-06. I plan on keeping my cruise control as well which may be a whole other issue. Other than that you can go through RS Gear and they have an expensive t-56 6Speed 4x4 trans. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
