We got a 93 F250 ext cab 4x with a brand new 460 crate engine after the ole one took a dump, and the E4OD has been acting funny, as in slipping, and is getting to the point it needs to be addressed. The truck is used locally only, 90% for pushing snow and laying down salt/sand and the other 10% for equipment hauling to job sites, rolling scaffolding on larger projects, and back up vehicle if one of the other trucks is getting serviced.

Problem, for no more than the truck gets used....in the 2 yrs since new crate engine dropped in we've put 3600miles on it, i'm not liking the $1800-2000 trans rebuild/crate tranny options though the bolt in aspect is nice, we just dont need the OD and i would like a cheaper trans option that can be built as tough or tougher for less money even with adapter plates if needed like when we used to run Chevy plow trucks once the 700R4's would crap out we'd just throw in a TH350 or TH400 and call it a day...so kinda looking for the same thing here.

Does anybody make a adapter kit that makes this possible?
What about the computer junk, is that going to be affected?
Anything else i'm not seeing/taking into account with this swap?

Just trying to entertain ALL options right now, and since it's a rarely used "tool" putting it back to OEM stock really is'nt a priority, so just trying to get the best bang for the buck here.

 

A big block C6 is a direct bolt-on no adapter plates necessary.. though you will likely need a different tranny crossmember and different driveshafts since the C6 is shorter.

 

What about at the transfer case? will the whole she-bang just bolt right back together other than new driveshaft and cross member? those are two simple/easy fixes vs the money spent for a crutch OD tranny again that's not needed.

 

Same transfer cases were used with both trannys so it will boltup as long as you get a 4wd C6.. no can do with a 2wd version.
