E4OD or AOD does matter a lot. The E(for Electronic)4OD requires a computer or stand-alone controller, the AOD does not. I think the E4OD is considered a stronger, better trans. But it's a little more work to retrofit it in.

By the way, I tried to send you a P/M. Did you get it?

You can drop in the 351w with a carb or get an adapter and bolt on a mustang upper intake to run fuel injection (the truck intakes are too tall with out some serious body lift and probably a hood scoop too).

Other things you could use are the hubs/rotors/lockouts for a disk brake swap, the steering column for a tilt wheel, and probably a few other things such as the coolant overflow/washer fluid container.
I have a upper and lower from a 5.0 explorer already so that upper should work well I would think.

Originally I was trying to stay away from electronic controlled but if I go with this motor I may keep the fuel injection and then I guess the e4od would be ok. Yes I did get your pm sorry for the delay. I was considering it but if this deal goes through then I won't need it. But thanks though.

What's the best way to distinguish the two when I get there to look at it?

Yes and no. The Explorer upper is the GT40 style which most people prefer for better air flow; unfortunately, there is only an adapter for the Mustang upper to the truck lower. To run the Explorer upper, you have to find a lower intake from an F150 Lightning 351. If you actually find one, it will likely be in the $700-1000 range. Here's a link to the adapter and examples of different intake patterns... B.C. Broncos Fuel Injection

You're not likely to find an AOD behind a 5.8 unless that motor was swapped into the truck at some point... it wasn't a factory combo, but I know a lot of people that can't tell the difference between a 5.0 and 5.8 too so it's worth a look.

I was thinking this and was waiting until the end to reply.... And then you said it.

You won't get any chain drive transfer case to fit because frame is too narrow.
If you use the d20 you will need an adaptor possibly, if the d20 doesn't have the same 6 bolt flange as the np205 or the np208/bw1356 that's usually behind the aod.
If you don't want to invest in the adaptor, use the np205 because it will bolt up to the 4x4 c6 and aod. It will fit in the frame and have hd Ujoints.

So basically I need to find a AOD or c6 to make it the easiest swap. I would need a adapter if I use my Dana 20 from my 77 bronco. Whats a good year model to find an np205?

Any non divorce mounted np205 is a good one. They are indestructible.
It will bolt onto any 4x4 aod or c6

They are used in f150-f350 probably from 76-77 to 79 maybe. Possibly earlier. Not sure when aluminum case np208 started. Too early and it will be a divorce mounted 205 or a 203.
