Not that I've been able to find. I asked the same question a few weeks back and EG replied that his search had turned up nothing that would be a drop in. Maybe he'll drop in and share his custom plans with us.

I had a B&M Ratchet shifter in a '65 Chev BIG BLOCK-turbo 400. It was a solid,firm shifter that was impossible to skip second and go into third while drag racing.( yes, I could miss a gear in an automatic)

There are no direct fit shifters. Hurst or B&M wil work on your 4L60E, but not fit.
