That's not true. Speartech put one in an NBS years ago.

Ryan (black and orange OBS),can't remember his username on here, was planning on doing the swap into his LSx trubo OBS truck. Don't know if he is still planning on it though.

I believe the NBS Speartech did was a genIV engine and 6l80e with a E38 PCM to control both.

He's running a TH400 now.

I don't believe there is a controller for the 6l80e yet. There are conversions valve bodies to make a 4l80e into 5/6 speeds, but I would think you still need there controller to make it work right.
