The 4l65e is the same as a 4l60e other than the 5 gear planetary, but externally is the same. The 4l60e is just the newer name for the 700r4. Look up 700r4 swaps and you'll find what you are looking for.

You'll need to figure out the TC lockup, and make sure you modify your carburetor for the correct geometry for the TV cable. You'll need to get the transmission cross member moved back a bit. You'll also likely either need to convert to mechanical speedometer on the tranny or to electronic speedometer on the dash.

The most difficult of any of it is deciding on the torque converter lockup type, or if you're going to even use it.
