As I understand, in 97 the E4OD was used behind the 5.4L It'd take some scrounging and rewiring/PCM-work but would that be a possibility?
I asked a local Ford mech about going E4OD on my 97 4x4 but he talked me out of it as it not being a drop-in swap.

I've never been a big fan of the C4/AOD/AODE/4R70W and much prefer the old C6/E4OD trannies. Never understood why they put that scrawny little thing behind a truck engine...even if all I've got is the little ole 4.6L.
