Depends on what you need for gearing, but you will have to change the tailshaft etc because they use those rubber donut u joints. I need a lower numerical gear set for mine due to the torque i make, 1st is useless. If you got the jack and want to save yourself the headache get a magnum and you can pick you gearing and shifter location

Just finished my NV3500 > T56 a few weeks ago. Seems like at least a couple more mpg's
Though got a question. I read in this LONG thread that the only fix for the cruise to function in 6th is install the 4L60E speedo reluctor wheel ??
I've played with the cruise apply table with HPtuners but did not help.

No, it isn't, I have one in my truck. And you don't have to change the tailshaft housing. It's the same as the f-body's. Maybe you're thinking of the T56 that is in the corvette's? Coming from a 5-speed truck, I just slid in a driveshaft from an A4 truck and called it a day.
I did install an f-body shifter cup so I could use f-body shifters, but that is such a no brainer. The stock GTO trans has an offset shifter cup so the shifter sits further back.
I can get about 1-2 more on the highway putting me at about 22-23 mpg with a bolt-on 4.8. With 4.30's, 30" tall tire, and a .57 6th gear I'm running around 1700rpm at 65mph.
But in all honesty, my city mileage is shot to **** cause the truck is just so damn fun to drive. I can hardly keep my foot outta it just running around on surface streets.
