Tranny Swap
I've looked thru ALOT of the pages , looking for info on a tranny swap for my 78 F 100 Ranger XLT 2WD C6 , 400 engine & found a headache! : (
I'd like to get an OD tranny for better MGP. Not into power or mudding , etc. Just to haul around my cannon (about 600 LBS) and go fetch landscapping wants/needs (wife WANTS it , I NEED to go and fetch it).
I know I don't want the AEOD tranny (or how ever you spell it). I read somewhere than a AOD from a Crown Vic would fit. (true??)
Would a 4R70W from a 92 E-350 Cargo Van with a 5.8 fit and how much mods would it take to put in ANY 4 speed auto.
No way is it a show or a go truck , just want to more than 9 MPG on the rebuilt 400. (new intake , cam , carb , headers , dual exhaust)
Thanx

IIRC the 400 c6 is the same as the 460? yes/no?
if yes you can get an aod in there, look under the tech articles covers this swap. All you need is an adapter plate, good built aod, and probably a new length on the driveshaft.
or just get a gear vendors or ranger overdrive unit and add it to your existing trans.
