Another E4OD QUESTION.....

OK Ladies and Gentlemen......
I have a 1989 F350 DRW, 460 engine (Gas). The E4OD is FRIED.....
Trans line broke and drained fluid, before I knew it I wasn't moving and smoke everywhere. Disassembled tranny. many internal parts are welded together or discolored from heat.....

NOW HERE IS THE BIG Question:

I am heading to Salvage yard. Not many Big Block trannys out there.
Will the internal parts from a small block tranny interchange with my Big Block tranny? The Big Block Case is fine. No cracks or distortion. I will be changing clutches and steels....

Any STRAIGHT FORWARD answers would be appreciated. I have looked at several sites and it appears that the internals are interchangeable, but I just want verification.

Go to Rock Auto web site and check the part numbers against each other for verification.

Honestly don’t try to fix the 89, that was the first version of the e4od and had lots of problems, Ford did a ton of upgrades over the years and your better off using a trans from a 95 and up big block, these will have all the updates done, stronger internals and save you a ton on changing parts.
