Default t56 swap possible in 2007 nnbs?

i was wondering, im ordering a 2007 NNBS silverado or sierra (undecided) and wondering if a t56 swap is possible, i mean i don't see why not but my main second question was is there a center console available for the install like turbo gibbs and retsell has? i wanna have it look very similar to the 2007 silverado ss 427 http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...photo_04.html#
thanks for any info...

Other than the fact that none of the 2007 nnbs come equipped with a manual tranny, I don't know. It would be a tight squeeze, it's pretty tight on the left hand side of the firewall, I don't know if there would be adequate room to put in a master cylinder or even room enough to work. I know when we got our first one in, I looked the truck over to see if it was feasible. I would wait and see if their going to put the 427ss into production, and then buy the clutch pedal and necessary components. Hope I haven't crushed your dreams.

They don't make a manual 5spd V6 version? Not even the 6spd manual HD? Well, if they don't make a factory pedal for it, then you'll probably have to go the aftermarket route and use a Wilwood pedal/master assembly and custom fab from there.

6 speed HD, that would be nice.
I would love to drop a Tremec in my truck.

not on yours, no one make a transfer case or output shaft or wahtever you need to connect to the 4wd part, i just know no one has a t56 4x4

the 6-speed HD i was referring to was the ZF 6-speed manual, VERY long shifts, not a performance trans
