Default Need Help deciding

i have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with a 4.8 automatic. Looking to do a engine and transmission swap. I know i want the 6.0 but as far as the transmission. I want to swap to manual. What tranny should I use? 1500 tranny or a 2500 tranny? Also I'm wanting to keep my 4x4

I've done some digging and I think the T56 Super Magnum tranny is the way to go. Also would a 6.0 bolt straight into my 4.8 tranny ?
