Default Lt1, 4l60e compatibility

Hey all, new to these forums. I have a quick question. I have searched all around on the Internet and get some conflicting info so I would value another opinion as well. I have a 1997 5.7 LT1 engine from a Z 28. It was originally a six speed car but the transmission was gone. I also have wiring and computer. I also have a 4L 60 E one piece transmission from a 1995 (5CRD). Is there anyway to make these two work together. This will be going in some sort of a hot rod in the future. I know I may have to get a new wiring harness and computer upgrade. I guess my main concern is that this motor is from a non-auto car (computer). Or would I be better off looking for a different transmission which would be too bad because this one has low miles and is in excellent shape. Thank you for your help

95 is a funny year trans and won't work in your 97. Also the 97 is obd2 and 95 is obd1.

The only thing about the motor that is manual is the pilot bearing that's in the back of the crank. Not sure if an auto input shaft would interfere with it or not but it pops right out with a puller.
