stangme 105 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Greetings again all, been a few years since I was last on, sometimes we get wrapped up in life. Anyway, I have the 69 fastback running well, 351W Dart bored/stroked to 427, fuel injection, 78 lincoln versaille rearend, disc brakes on all four, C6 tranny built to handle the horsepower, etc. The other day a friend at work and I were talking mustangs, and I mentioned that I was thinking of adding overdrive to my C6 to give the car a little more leg so I could put the 3.70's back into the rearend. He mentioned that he had an automatic transmission from a lightning left when he bought an engine/tranny combo and only put the engine in his '98 mustang coupe. Basically he is willing to give it to me free of charge, and I was wondering if anyone had put a newer computer controlled tranny in a much older car. I figure I should be able to buy a computer node for the tranny but figured I would toss it out there to see if any of you had done this or heard of anyone doing this. 1 deannav2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

det0326 179 Report post Posted May 11, 2016 just make sure it is a 4R70W. Some of the earlier lightning trucks I think around 93 94 had the E40D it is a huge tranny you don't want it. The AODE will work also but doesn't have as good internals has the 4R Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rsmach1 71 Report post Posted May 11, 2016 +1 with what's stated above. Even if the tranny doesn't pan out I'd recommend against adding an overdrive for your C6. The Gear vendors OD run like $2700 to $3300 bucks, for that kinda $ you can probably get a good or used 4r70w, have it gone thru and a controller. JMO.
