I have an overdrive transmission from a 89 pickup with a 460 EFI. I know the trans is cumputer controlled but I am wondering if there is a kit out there to make this trans work on my 460 in my 79 F150, I don't want to put in the EFI 460 I have but want the 4 spd auto. At a $1.20/litre or $5.40 a gallon I need all the help I can get. Anyone have any Ideas for this.??

 

Ive been reserching this idea there is a company called Bauman Electronic Controls they have what you will need to make the E4OD work but ive been trying to hear from someone who has put this tranny in there truck if it fits or do you have to modify the body this trans is big Im wanting to put one in my 70' with a 460 there is another outfit called TCI that has a programer for the none computer controled vehicles moving the crossmember and modifying the driveshaft is not an issue just dont want to hack up the body

 

Sound like the gear vendors unit might be cheaper and a lot less headache in the long run. Usually those stand alone electronic trans. controllers are expensive.

 

I have thought about that also, but I think I would prefer the trans swap, I'm hate doing thimgs the easy way. The gear vendor is a good set up though and is well proven. I have lots of time to think about it, truck is down to 2 X members and the rails waiting to get blasted.

 

Let me see gear vendor part $2700 bauman's controler $425 and if you opt for there upgrade your still cheaper that's just my thought's

 

Rebuild on that new OD trans that just went out, 2K...

 

5.40 a gallon..... where are you? cause damn, its like 3.25 a gallon here in socal! i thought prices were bad here

 

Canada eh.

 

Yes, Eastern Canada, and with gas being my next biggest expense after the mortgage , $5.40 a Gallon sucks. Filling my 06 from empy is over the $150.00 mark now. I'm also a big snowmobiler and now they both cost over $40.00 to gas up. I'm gonne start turning tricks down at the old ladies home to off-set the cost of gas.

Thanks for the tup on Bauman elctronic's guys, never heard of them till now.
