We finally got this thing running and man, it cranks so easy and just purrs. This is our F250 longbed to shortbed, EFI 7.5/E4OD, Crown Vic, 9" diff project truck.

Just need to bleed the brakes and we will be able to take it for a spin!!!

 

Nice!

Factory T/C in the e4od?

 

T/C?

Torque Converter? Yes

Transmission Controller? Yes

This is a stock 120k mile 460/E4OD combo. $400 Craigslist score with complete harness and ECM a couple years ago.

We are thinking about getting a Quarterhorse to tune it a bit and Punisher VB to make the E4OD live a long happy life.

 

I highly recommend both

 

The thing that makes the E4OD live a long, happy life, IMO, is a bigger trans cooler and changing the fluid, including draining the converter, every 25K miles.

 

Good to know! Thanks.

Runs, drives, stops. Whoo hoo!

 

I'm no transmission expert, but unless you pull/haul heavy loads often, changing out the fluid that often won't be necessary.

 

We have put over 500 miles on it so far and it is running like a top. I am very pleased with our $400 craigslist motor and trans!

Finally came up with a speed sensor solution so the E4OD now knows when to shift!

Out Punisher VB will be here this week. Can't wait.
