Transmission Help!
Alright guys i have a dilema. I have a 1997 F150 4.6L. I had the transmission rebuilt in August of last year. Now i am putting a new engine in it and when i pull the torque converter out, the pump shaft comes with it. So i call the trans shop that i had it built buy due to the warrenty. They tell me to bring in the transmission and they will get it fixed no problem. I drop it off and when i went to pick it up expecting them to be done with it they show me two large cracks in the bell housing. They are saying that since I am doing the engine swap that i cracked it and they wont warrenty it. (They are stupid and trying to screw me) but a lawsuit will only postpone me getting my truck finished up and back on the road. So i have been looking for a transmission and i found one out of a 1994 thunderbird 4.6. Now i know ill have to take off the back shaft housing but i plan on just putting my guts out of my transmission into it because i have a 4x4. Will this transmission bolt up to my engine in my truck? its only 200$ and id really like to get it so i can get my truck up and running. Any help will be greatly appreciated

I have talked to a shop and found that though the bell housing may line up it matters on whether my engine is a two or three bOlt starter the 4.6L have had both another one of ford weird designs. I have finally found a case for it and am ready to get it put together and my baby back on the road
