Hey guys im trying to help out my buddy, hes doing an F150 with a 5.0 and hes got an E4OD transmission out of a 93 Ford Lightning that had a 351...it should match up with the 5.0 correctly right as long as hes got a 5.0 Flywheel?

yes and starter.

also note if it is a 4x4 its going to have a different linkage to the tcase if its a manual shift one. and you will need to grab the overdrive switch out of hte dash.

thanks man, no he made sure to pick up a 2x2 for that reason. he wanted to make basically a fast f150 he couldnt find a 351 cheap enough for it so hes going with the 5.0 but still wanted to use the lightning tranny.

TopNotch89

what kind of starter would he need? just one from like an f150 with a 351 stock?

84conversion50

yep should be it.

i BELIEVE THE E4OD is electronicly controlled shift, how does he plan to do that???

84conversion50

he asked if it would match up. when i converted my aod to e40d in my bronco i used a standalone computer for the tranny. i dont know where my stepdad got it but he had it layin in his toolbox.

TopNotch89

does anyone have any information about this computer that the E40D needs to shift? my friends got a Hanes repair manual and it says it runs thru the PCM? (ECU) anyone think ill get more results on a ford truck forum? sorry really lookinf for help here.

ok when i get home i will pm you the instructions on how to make the ford lightning computer work for your tranny. you will have to mount it somewhere within the harness's reach.
