This is sort of useless babling and thinking out loud... looking for some opinions...
I'm swapping a carbed 460 into my '93 Ranger, but still kind of undecided on which transmission to use. I want an auto with OD. It's a 2wd with a 3.73 rear end ratio and will have ~28" tires on the back. It's gonna be a daily driver and not driven hard.
The two choices I'm considering are an AOD or an E4OD.
AOD
Cost = $500 total to use this transmission.
I already own this transmission, it's from a SuperCoupe, and I know for a fact it's in good shape and works well.
The adapter kit from Lentech is around $500, and he says he won't be making any for a few months. (I want to start setting this engine in now)
The A4LD used a TV cable incorporated into the gas pedal that I can probably make work with the AOD.
The AOD will fit easily into the trans tunnel
E4OD
Cost = About $950 to use this transmission
Slightly better first gear ratio than the AOD
I'd have to buy a junkyard trans, about $400 around here
I'd have to buy a computer and wiring harness, about $550
The trans is HUGE!!! Will it even fit?
I'd have to rig up a TPS on the carb, which adds clutter under the hood.
Just looking for opinions...
