Contact Scotty Baccus at Tejas Steelworks(facebook works well, but I'm sure you can contact him otherwise). They make the Tejas mounts for shoving LS engines into squarebody trucks. Scotty has quite a bit of experience with the 6L80 and 6L90 transmissions with the various swaps he's done for himself and others. Ask him if he recommends an aftermarket converter. I would trust his advice; he shoots pretty straight.

I haven't personally looked into it much myself. I specifically chose a nv4500 over a 6L80e, in case that shows you where my allegiance lies!
