I wonder if you could retrofit the ecu/trans controller from an e4od idi truck into your truck.
Shift points would be weird though. Hmmm. Would need to have a programmer to tweak shift points meaning extra money. May as well just get shift controller.
Just a thought.

My biggest reason for the "keep it Ford" doesn't have anything to do with brand, but ease of parts availability. The lockup converter is also a bonus on the E40D.
When I rebuilt the engine, it was because my dad had hydro-locked it and bent a rod, so the addition of a non-Ford cam to a mild RV was just as a way of getting rid of the emissions related power robbing cam grind. Otherwise I don't plan on a major change-up. Reliability is the first concern, ease of repair and parts availability, as well as good power are next.
