Tranny choices for LM7 conversion
Hi:
I am considering a vortech 5.3 conversion and trying to gather the parts. I have few basic questions: with my truck being a manual 3 speed, what would be the easier and most cost effective route to go: an auto or manual transmission? My goal is making a nice daily driver. What would happen to steering column/wheel in either manual or auto tranny case? I suppose needing a later model steering column as well? Will it be floor shift or column shift? And the last questions, can driveshaft be modified or would it make more sense to get a new one? I really don't have space to get a whole donor truck but would it be easier and more cost effective to find a 2000 and newer truck to get the engine, tranny, steering column and possible the driveshaft from it? Thanks,
