Get the one from the vehicle that the 2010 6L80 came out of. Much easier to adapt the motor than the transmission to a new E38. Sounds like a 2010 truck. I would start with a 2010 truck that has a 5.3L motor and the 6L80 transmission and use the E38 from it.

Just remember that the 6L80 has the TCM integrated into it unlike the 4L series.
