Ford used a standard 6 bolt pattern on the transmission tailshaft housing. You should be able to use any Ford 4X4 trans as long as it has the correct bellhousing pattern.

300, 302, 351W are all the same pattern. 460 and 444 are the other two recent patterns. The Tritons are the same pattern as the small block if you want to try that route.

You could use the AOD, E4OD, ZF, M5OD.....lots of choices. AOD will not require an ECU, E4OD will. ZF and M5OD are both sticks. There are more choices but these are the first to come to mind.

What will you be using this truck for?

Mike
