Re: 5.7 Vortec Swap 65' C20

The 4L60E can be shifted by either a column shift or an aftermarket floor shifter. The Escalade may have a cable connecting the column shift to the trans. You may be able to make use of that setup somehow. Finding an original '63-'66 auto trans column is going to be difficult. The next best would be a column from a '67-'72 followed by a column from a '73-'87.

There are several aftermarket floor shifters to choose from, depending on the look you are after.

Thanks, Sir. I will keep this in mind. I am assuming that I will also need a steering column to accommodate the 4L60E but am not sure. Any recommendations?

Big thanks to all of you guys. This is really a huge help in understanding the intricacies of this swap. It is very much appreciated.
