transmission questions

Hey all, recently I picked up a '93 E150 4.9L I6 with a bad tranny(unknown to me when I bought it). The tag on the tranny is F2UP-DC. I did a search on car-part.com and found a few at a yard about 2 hours away, so I ran and picked one up. When I was there, I noticed the tag is different on this one and is actually from a '93 F150 with a 5.0L engine. They swear (and guarantee) it will fit. I can barely read the tag on the "new" one, and it looks like it says F21P-DC. Will this fit my van? anything I need to look out for when installing? Thanks for any help I can get.

Those numbers don't mean anything to me. Are both transmissions E4ODs? The one in your truck definitely is, I don't know if the new one is. The AOD is a much smaller trans. E4OD have 20 bolts on the pan, AOD has 14.

I am pretty sure the "new" one is also an E4OD too. So, if they both are E4OD's, with 20 bolt pans, it should work? anything beyond that I should check for?

Don't know about E4OD, but went thru the mill looking for '92 E150 5.0L AOD tranny. Discovered an issue w/tailshaft length, that prevented an F150 AOD from being a direct fit. Recycler's interchange book said it swapped, but it didn't. Recycler suggested swapping tailshaft & housing, but not practical.

More learned that Lincoln Continental used the right length tailshaft AOD.

thanks, I will most likely just drop the old one and compare them. The van won't move at all right now anyway, so the old one has to go.
