i have a 97 f150 with the 4.6w running to a 4R70w. i found a 2002 f250 5.4L and as i was just informed by jbrew they didnt run that tranny to that particular motor? what are my options here?

the little man in my head is angry at me...

so are my options as follows
1) swap the 5.4 at a yard for another 5.4 out of a f150?
2) swap trannys?
3) new bellhousing?
4) cry in a corner and dont come out?

 

It's not a different motor though. There's only 1 block that all the trucks that got 5.4's have. That's it.

All tranny's attach to the block, period. The only thing I can think of is that you guys are looking at that dust shield and it's throwing you off.

 

that would be option #4 in a way wouldnt it?

ok im happier now lol.

 

LOL

I was reading yall's posts back and forth and had to read them all several times to figure out wtf you guys were talking about. It just didn't make any sense!

 

lol thats great. yeah i need to hit the sack and drool all over the pillows. THANKS NYQUIL, ONLY AFTER I USE YOUR PRODUCT! lol

but yeah he kinda lost me there right at the end. i couldnt figure out why the computer and trans problem came into the equation...

glad you came along and set me straight so i can sleep tonight lol

 

Yeah, I think you guys were talking about two different situations and things were starting to break down. It's all good!

 

i cant figure out why he was so focused on that other f'n trans?

 

Like triton said , I was thinking along the lines of changing out to a different model transmission and adapting it into your vehicle . That's not easy , if it can be done at all by itself.

In your case it doesn't matter because your swapping out the motor and the blocks the same regarless and any trans will bolt up to it.

The motor you bought had an 4R100 bolted to it and now it's going to have a 4R70w bolted to it. That's what confused me, because you can't do that the other way around.
