Your in for some work. First the e4od is a computer shifting trans. Second you will have to change ALL the wiring from the computer (basically ALL the Wiring Harnesses since one is a Van & the other is a truck that could get interesting) to the newer engine & trans. It can be done but hope your real strong on ELECTRICAL. Let us know how it turns out.
