C6 Upgrade

Hey guys, my 1974 Camper Special F250 C6 is needing a rebuild. Leaking out of every seal. Would there be
any advantage to swapping in an E4OD. I see some for sale and don't know what would be involved in such
a swap. Better MPG? Pulling power?

You'd gain overdrive and a lockup converter...

It's an expensive swap. Buy the trans, and then a stand alone controller for it.

Is it worth it? That depends on how you drive and how much you drive the truck....
