EEE's 1993 Ford Explorer

[Kris Guilbeaux]

The trans doesn't help retain the ac it's the motor that does

[KF5ZXT]

Ok, well I was already talking about a 5.0 (or 5.0 derivative - ), so that's why I was confused.

[KF5ZXT]

What are the output shaft diameters and spline count on the end of the AODE/4R70Ws? Bolt count?

[KF5ZXT]

[TxPlates]

Not bad.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Then that's the way to go Randall just replace the input shaft on the atlas and go 4r70w that's a good strong trans

[KF5ZXT]

Still weighing options, probably will be for quite a while. I must also consider that that option would render my $1200 transmission moot.

[MrQ]

I'm pretty sure you can find a buyer.

[KF5ZXT]

For a 60 degree 700r4?

[MrQ]

Its set for the 4.0 OHV right? Last time I checked the A4LD was far from the most reliable transmission and swaps are pretty common.

[KF5ZXT]

It is, with the front adapter. The rear, however, is standard Chevy 6 bolt. So you'd need a different transfer case, or to change out the output shaft and tailhousing of this 700r4.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Why does the rear of the transfer case have to change?

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Disregard tapa talk didn't update I thought you were talking about changing the atlas

[KF5ZXT]

I would have to change the front input gear of the Atlas if I went with an AOD derivative.

[KF5ZXT]

also talked a little about a motor swap to be done at some point in the future.
LS1 truck motor swap:
$2200 labor (motor mounts, etc)
$400 wiring harness
$1000 Truck LS motor
$___ Spal fan and radiator
$___ hood modifications
$'couple hundred' rebuild 700r4 into 90 degree case

[TxPlates]

Where it goes to die....

[8am8am]

Somebody showing off their horrible photography skills? Taking a pic of that drop dead sexy 65 chevy, but managed to have a goofy looking ford blocking it......

[KF5ZXT]

Man, you should have seen the clean one he had inside the shop.

[TxPlates]

So what all did you tell David to do to it?

[8am8am]

[KF5ZXT]

[TxPlates]

Nah I'll bet since that's not hardcore stuff they're doing can knock it out quick. Unless Randall said take your time lol.

[MrQ]

Have you even flexed that suspension yet?

[KF5ZXT]

Nah, I'm a web wheeler.
