Hey all. .I have a 1997 Ford Econoline 150 V6 4.2 liter automatic Van.. I was wondering what other vehicles used the 4R70W transmission and would they fit thisvan? The guy at junk yard said this year van was only one that used it... thanks.

Hi and welcome to FTE

I don't know what would be different between the years. It should be the same ad a 2WD F150 as well.

You can use a 4R70W transmission taken from any 1997 vehicle. The year is important though because there were some electrical changes in 1998 that would make a later model incompatible.

The 4R70W is used in:

F-150s
E-150s
Mustangs
Crown Victorias
V-8 Explorers
V-8 Mercury Mountaineers
Probably a few other Mercury and Lincoln vehicles as well.

If you wanted to go to a better transmission you may think about the C6 (for non overdrive) or a 4R100 (E4OD)

You could find 4r70w's mounted in just about any V-8 Ford from 1996 or later. But as AJ pointed out, there were wiring differences and even a few clutch pack friction changes so be sure what you are getting matches up.
