90 460/c6 combo
I have a 1994 f350 with a 460/e4od which has numerous problems in the engine managment and transmission. it is to the point I would rather replace than repair.
I saw a listing for a 90 460/c6 and was wondering what kind of combo this is known to be and is there any big hurdles in the conversion. I would get the whole 90 truck (whats left of it) so I can't see why it would be that difficult

I think that this motor and trans have passed the point were it is economical to fix them. I am pretty sure that this truck got zero maintence before I got it.
Switching to the C6 is one of the benefits becuase of its reliability. This is a farm truck and doesn't get used like a daily driver so losing overdrive isn't that big of a deal. Other E4od's I have had have treated me well, but this one is shot and it is expensive to fix.
I think that the trans is half the problem the aging emissions equipment is the other half. Beyond that I don't really want to stick more money into this motor I dn't think it will last. One head has 2 bad plug holes, they have helicoils in them but I wouldn't bet my life on them. it has the slightest coolant leak into the oil, and the rear main is starting to leak more.
This project is based on getting a replacement cheap and investing some sweat equity to get it by for a little while longer
