Default 1965 BelAir LS swap help please....


Ok getting ready to do a 5.7\4L60E LS swap out of a 2004 GTO in this and after reading for 3 days straight and not getting anywhere I have a few questions....
1. What oil pan ( I have a F-body one already, Will it work)
2. What motor mount combo & Transmission cross member(Going 4L60E car currently has a 4 speed in it)
3.Which looks better? A B&M Pro stick or something like a Lokar floor shifter.
Thanks a lot and any info would be great!
I usually run the very common plates however are the ones with the 3 positions (stock or the +1/-1forward /back) better?
I have bought the CPP cross members before and they work great but I am trying to keep the cost even.

First off, awesome car! For your 65, there are two main people/ threads yo should take a look at.
1) Superdave's 65 impala
2)Kwizz 66 impala

I used both of these threads to do my 65, and both these guys are top notch!
I'm looking forward to seeing your build!

Cool car! Take a look at the B&M Quicksilver. Looks good and preforms well, cost is on the lower end.
The 2 threads mentioned are the most recent and best documented. I would review each and PM those guys if you need specific information. Both are very willing to help.

Nice.
I have a friend with a 65 Impala wagon. Fun car, but he stayed with the big block after the restoration.
