Trying again- solid flywheel?
I am repeating myself now. Anyway, I rolled my truck into the garage today. The E4OD is going out. I bought an 1988 parts truck last year with the ZF transmission. The transmission was laying in the bed when I got. Missing a lot of bolts, but got the main parts. But I need a solid flywheel and clutch. Have found a Borg Warner set at ebay for 450. Or should I go for the LUK set? I am also missing the the bolts to fasten the transmission to the engine. Are the bolts on the E4OD the same?
I have got the axles, but need new u-joints. Are all the joints the same as I got on my 1991? Both trucks are supercabs.
Thanx!

I like the BW but that is me. As for you saying you have the axle's, do you mean the drive shafts? i believe you do but just making sure. make sure the u joints are solid, good ones all over just dont get the cheapy ones. The u joints may very well be the same. The bolts for the transx to engine coupling migth be the same as well but any good grade eight bolt will work, that is if they go all the way through. if they bolt into the housing then you will have to be careful with new bolts. Without looking at it i cant say for sure but i am sure someone will chime in.

Ya there in nothing different between the e4od trans mount bolts and the ZF. For the solid fly wheel all I did was use a 6.9 t19 solid flywheel with t19 pressure plate, and zf 5 clutch disk. The clutch disk must be a sprung type or it will really have gear rollover. This setup is the cheapest, and uses all ford parts.
