4r70w to E4od

i currently have the 4r70w in my 95 F-150 with a 5.0. How hard is it to swap to the E40d. I'm wondering if the computer will work or will i have to switch that too?

It's very, very hard.

It will bolt in without much problem, but the computer that operates a 4R70W will not operate an E4OD. If you change computers, you will have a computer that won't operate the engine.

To make this work you will need a custom computer to operate the system. That is not an easy task.

What about using a computer that came out of a truck that had a 302 and a e40d??

4r70w to E4od

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-Dec-01 AT 10:07 AM (EST)]I don't think there ever was a computer designed for a 302 with E40D, I don't think Ford ever put that combo out, I could be wrong though. I am trying to do a MAF conversion to my 460, and a 302 has the same firing order and injector pulse order, but the maf computers are designed for the AOD, not the E40D, there is no kit for the 302/460 firing order with an E40D. But there is one for the 351. :-(

Since I wrote the last post I remembered that there was a 302/E4OD Bronco, I think. If you can find one of those it should work.

I would expect some differences in the wiring harness, so you need to either modify what you have or replace the engine/transmission harness.

What about the opposite?

Could I replace my E40D with a 4R70W or or will my computer not support it?

I can personally vouch for one 302/E4OD equiped 4x4 ext. cab F-150 (1994). My father purchased it new in '94 and now my brother owns it (water 5).

You'd need to swap the computer. A computer that can run an E4OD will not run a 4R70W. A computer that will run a 4R70W won't run an E4OD.

E40D is much stronger, just makle sure you get one with all the updates. I think 95 is when the updated them. I had the 4R70W in my 96 and never had an issues with it.
