Go to a Cummins enthusiast site, they all have swap forums with shit-loads of info.

there are a few places to check out:

www.cummins-conversion.com

www.4btswaps.com

www.fordcummins.com

it's been done before, with good success.

There are adapters that are readily availble to mate a GM trans to the B series engine. i have a 4BT (same engine - 2 cylinders) that is mounted to a 700r4 in my garage. I don't know about getting a 4L80E to work electronically, but there are standalone computers available, they are close to a grand though. If you have an NV4500 currently, that would probably be a lot easier to setup.
