E4OD w/ a 400

Guys,
reciently got a 79 supercab 4x4 with a 400 and c6 with 205. Love the truck but keep waiting to shift into 4th Was wondering if it is possible to mate a bb E4OD to my 400 or would I have to go to a 460 with a ECU? What are my options to get that nice overdrive? Will do a manual swap to a zf if I have to but would prefer to not have to go to all that.

thanks

There are stand alone controllers that can operate an E4OD. Baumann Engineering makes one.

The swap can be done but the cost will far outweigh the gas mileage difference. It would take many 1000's of miles to recoup the cost.
