I have a Ford E-350 bread van I have decided to use for my Scout swap. It has a 4bt with a 4 speed tranny. (I decided I better be very budget minded or my wife will kill me. I went a bit overboard on my 6Bt conversion in my Suburban so she is a tad hostile, and I knew if I went with a 6bt in the Scout I would end up in hot water.) Reading these boards it appears that my bread van has a T-19 tranny. Is this true? How would this tranny vary from the tranny in my diesel Scout? Is it possible that I can trade out parts between the two tranny's and end up with a workable tranny? With 31's and 3.73 rear end what will my speed be at 2500 RPM's.
Also if I were to spend more money what other options would I consider. I was told an NV4500 from behind a Dodge Cummins would bolt right up and I could find a used bell housing cheap and easy. I am wondering what other Ford trannies would bolt up? I really appreciate any feedback.
