Engine Swap Transmission Question
I have a 1990 F150 and I just dropped in a 408 windsor with victor intake manifold and 750 holley. My E4OD is only a year old with only 500 miles on it and works great...will I be able to use this with the old style engine?
Then engine is starting up just fine, but the transmission doesn't seem to go into drive or reverse. Will I need to find an older c4 or c6? Or is there any way I can use the e4OD? Your help is much appreciated!

The E4OD is electronically controlled by the PCM. I'm not 100% sure what it will do without the PCM but it sounds like, not much. They do make something to plug in I believe to fix this but I think they are expensive. Maybe someone else can be of more help on that.

Baumannator TCS Electronic Transmission Control System You would most likely need to find some way to rig up a throttle position sensor to the carb linkage for it to work.
Confirmed: "Carbureted applications require installation of a throttle position sensor to the carburetor throttle linkage, which should prove easier than adapting a TV cable for a Ford AOD or similar non-electronic transmission. All other sensor connections are integral to the transmission harness. Transmission harnesses can be provided in a turn-key manner, if so desired." Cut from the product info....
