i have a 1989 f150 4x4 i just got a e4od, i need to i need to know what i have to do to make it work in my truck. its also efi but im putting in a 351w.

 

You may need and after market Automatic Transmission Controler. They are fully programable, and can run in the $700 range. Other than that you would need all the wire harness and ecu from what ever vehicle the transmission came from, and all the proper sensors connected to your engine. All that hassel makes the after market controller look cheap.


Heres a link to one controller

Another site with controlers, E4OD info.

E4OD and 4R100E Performance Products

Good luck.

 

thanks i got the computer out of the truck i got the tranny and all the wireing and it hooks up to the same plugin that was there alredy there but is there any thing else that i need

 

If the truck that the tranny and computer came out of had the same engine as yours it should be a straight swap in. You can probably get away with mixing 302/351. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're going carb with your swap then yes, you'll need a controller and I'd bet you can get an AOD cheaper than a controller

 

ok well i said heck with all the e4od an got a c6 for 50 bucks and it was just rebuilt so i think it will do better in my mudder

 

Just rebuilt ???

$ 50.00 ???

 

Well, let us know how it works. There might be a lot of business for that guy who can sell a rebuilt for $50 if it works right.

 

ya he had it for his truck but he had to get rid of it so i got it from him, but i also need to know if the cross member that the tranny bolts to is different from the 4 speed that was in there.

 

The cross member maybe the same for the 4spd but that 4spd is alot shorter than the C6. The frame should have the holes further back already pre drilled from the factory. If it doesnt work, a crossmember from a C6 or AOD truck will work for yours.

 

well my 4spd was 3 inchs longer than the c6 and i need about 3 inchs for my 4x4 shifter to match up and will my drive shafts that i have work

 

alright here is what i have done so far got the tranny in its all set up now i need to get the motor mount towers so i can put the 351 in and wire it up and i also need to get a new c clip and speedo gears (know one has them ) for the transfer case. does any one know where i can get the speedo gears ?? and a cheap set of headers ??
