CaterpillarTech · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2008, 03:56 PM

got a question that i cant find anywhere else. hope somebody on here may be able to help. i may not be looking hard enough but i cant find it. ive got a 93 f-350 4x4, 460ci gas, e40d auto. i got a good 7.3 idi id like to swap in but dont know about the transmission. will it fit? are te internals, ratios, valves different. i think the gas shifts at higher rpm, maybe my right foot, i dont know. id really like to not buy a transmission. thanks for any help.

Umm, how are you going to control the trans? will it not need the pcm?

If it is an E4OD it's computer controlled. It could be a C6, that's vacuum controlled. The C6 has a vacuum cannister on the right side of the trans. It has a vacuum line that goes to the intake manifold.

Your bigger problem is that the bolt pattern on the 460 and the diesel are different. The trans won't bolt up, and the bellhousing is not removeable.
