I have the truck listed above with a 5.7 and 700R4 transmission. We put a new motor in and now it will not shift into any gear.

If you did not have the torque converter in correctly when you put the new engine in you could have broken the fluid pump in the transmission.

Here is a video that will help see if the torque converter is in correctly:

I would remove the transmission to see.

Please let us know what you find.
