4 speed automatic with overdrive?
Is there a ford 4 speed automatic with overdrive that will bolt up to my 351m/400 (77 f150 4x4)? I realize that there will be time spent on the mill and with the torch to make up new mounts. If there is such an animal, will my 205 transfer case bolt up to it. This is a daily driver and would like to get a little better mileage out of her.

I'll get flamed for this, but consider the GM 700R4. Low first gear, .70 OD. easy to find and build. I considered it for mine, and still am, the adapter plate is the only thing making me reconsider at $700.

I looked at a E4OD, looks quite a bit wider than the C6. Fitting up into the truck I don't think will be a problem. Just wondering if the front driveshaft will clear it with the NP205 transfer case.

Do you want to spend a bunch of time butchering your truck? Ever want to restore it to stock? Would you like to do the job yourself in 4 hours? If any of these sound good get the gear vendor OD for your Truck. Search my name and you can read about my install. It’s FLAWLESS!

Really starting to lean towards the GV unit. It's pretty expensive but I not only get to keep my C6, it becomes a 6 speed. One question though, the transfer case is manual shift (obviously) does the GV overdrive have some kind of sensor with it that will shut it off when shifted into 4wd? I'd hate to be running different ratios to the front and back just because I forgot to turn off the OD.
