Hi Guys: I have a 97 f150 supercab v6 and I just brought an 08 v6 engine that we are going to swap. I didn't get a trans because it was out of a truck with a manual trans. Should I try to get a 08 aod trans. and swap the aode trans., also? Thanks for your reply.

 

I think all you need is to replace the flywheel with your flex plate. The 08 auto trans is not the same as your 97 auto trans. You don't have a AOD/AODE, you have a 4R70W.

 

Hi glc: Yes I know the 97 has the 4R70W I thought that this was also called an aode. I gess my question is when I swap the 97 engine for the 08 engine should I also change the transmission to the 08 F150 Trans. I was thinking if I don't change the trans. could I use both computers the one from the manual trans. for the engine along with the 97 OEM computer for everything else? Thanks.

 

No - use YOUR transmission and PCM. You can't use 2 computers.

 

Hi All" I pulled the motor & trans. Installed the motor mounts and switched the fly wheel & shield to the 08 engine. I would like to know if all 4r70w transmission's the same as I would like to use a latter model trucks trans & converter that had lesser miles on it? Thanks, ahmad
