Default Will a 4r70w tranny fit a 94 5.0 stang?

Hi I have a 94 5.0 Mustang. At the end of last summer the tranny went on it. I'm just wondering if I can replace the AODE with a 4r70w transmission? From what I've heard they are better transmissions and since I can get a 4r70w for the same price as a AODE, if it fits I'm going to do that.

Yes it is, but from what I've read the v6 4r70w will fit but I want to confirm this before I spend money on something I can't use.

I have heard that v6's have the same bell housing, but im not sure I believe it... Im going JY hunting for a 3.8l manual soon so Ill have a spare tranny... i'll find out soon... but until then... I wouldnt count on it.

You may want to look into a AOD conversion instead of using the AODE.... the E's sucked

Well i have a C-6 in mine and it works quite well. A buddy of mine has an 88 gt convertable with a C-4 which is also a good choice. If you are to get a C-6 make sure you find one with the small block bellhousing. C-6's are strong, almost bulletproof. C-4's are lighter. Just some options.

I had a friend that tried to fit it and NO it didn't work. You probably can get it to fit after enough modifications.

A lil off topic, but are all C-6s 3 speeds?

4r70w's have been used since 94 in almost all ford applications. Everything from mustangs to pickup trucks. They are the exact same externally as an AOD-E, but the controls are diff. I'm not sure that you could use it w/o modifying your harness or getting a new one.
