Default 6l80 4wd swap

Is it possible to mate 6L80 transmission to floor shifted 246 transfer case?

If not, what options are available to use 6L80 with floor shifter transfer case?

Be the same as mating it up to a 4l80e.

I'm not sure what transfer case is in the '13 2500 gas powered trucks, but I know our GSA truck is a 6L80 or 90 with the floor shifter. Found this number for the transfer case in the HD trucks, MP1626XHD.

So, it will need TC input shaft and trans to TC adapter and trans mount.

Are the 6L80 and 4L80E same length?

Which floor TC comes stock with 6L80? I'm thinking of getting 6L80/TC combination for the swap.

Yes will need a 32 spline input gear and the 4l80e trans to transfer case mount for any transfer case that originally came behind a 4l60. The 4l80 is still about an inch and a half longer then a 6l80. As fas as floor shifted transfer cases go I'm not sure if GM ever made one that went with the 6l80e. Your best bet is to just find one from a HD truck that had a 4l80 and use that if you don't want to mess with changing out the input gear.
