Did your work truck give up the ghost?

Yes she did! Tranny puked yesterday, I knew it was just a matter of time. I cant see putting the money into it for a new/rebuilt tranny. Landshark suggested a ZF swap, interesting idea. I'm not sure I have that kind of time to track down parts and then do the swap. I need a work truck ASAP and have no money as it is. The Bronco will be my work horse for a while.

I know a guy, or two, that could likely give you a solid day of parts grabbing, then another day of swap time. It would have to be scheduled of course, but it's doable. Start looking at the PnP inventories; Denver, Aurora, Co Spgs & Littleton.

Edit: Money wise it should be under 500 to make it happen; 100+ for trans, ~ 100 for pedal & hydraulic clutch bits, ~100 to rework driveshaft or grab a donor or may even get away with no mods, another 100+ for incidentals.

Don't forget the $100 for beer!

Call Ed! He may have everything needed as cheap as the yard but already pulled and ready to go. 303-936-4021.

Truth is I'm kinda attached to this truck, I've been driving her everyday since February '97. My daughter wanted it for her first car!

Kirk- if its truly that possible, I'm all in. I would need some advice on which doner vehicle would be best. Chris suggested a truck that already had the 460 for ease of swap. I will take any and all advice from vehicle to wher to look.

Greg- I'm not shy about supplying beer :)

Saw an E4OD today in a similar truck, was 460 equipped prior to someone yanking the motor.

It is possible, it shouldn't need any mods, just the right parts to swap in, a similar year Ford would make it ideal. Grab the flywheel back setup, pedal & clutch setup, poss the crossmember and driveshaft if it ends up being specific to a 5 speed setup.

What I don't know about is what the computer will think or if we'll need to mess with things like the VSS.

Kirk- what if we take a swing at rebuilding the E4OD, How bad could it be? Depending on what needs to be replaced, parts kit look to be about $200-$350. A manual $27 and maybe a tool or two $150.....$500 could be all it takes!!

You forgot beer. I'm happy to be the supervisor/tool holder. You don't want my help on this one, but I'd love to learn along with you guys.

Post by **landshark** » Fri Nov 21, 2014 12:33 am

The vss should be on the rear diff I believe so shouldn't matter what trans. I might be wrong a trip over to ford truck enthusiast should shed some light as its a common swap. Your f250 should have the bolt holes for the zf crossmember, tunnel and clutch setup.

I know the e40d is a complicated transmission but guys have rebuilt them.

I can help as well. I think I still have a luk clutch, pressure plate and flywheel for a 460/zf combo :)

I think crawlercreations has a similar f250 with a 460. Not sure his trans.

Post by **crawlercreations** » Fri Nov 21, 2014 7:08 am

Mine is a 460/zf combo but is 8 years older. Not sure if they changed much in that time but I'm happy to let it be the vehicle to see, take measurements from, etc.

I built autos for a while at a transmission shop but never touched the e4od. They pretty much had one guy there for them cause they sucked and he hated them too. He said they were hassle.

Two 97' F250's at the CS P&P, maybe one has an automatic.

Pretty sure you don't want me messing around inside of a slush box, but there's always a 1st time.
