IDI e40d internals swap

[Xander1897]

Hello. Long time user first time poster. I have a 1989 f250 2wd automatic with an e4od. I recently flat towed it for a long distance and by the time I got to my destination the trans was shot. First gear spinning grinding and clunking. Soo. I bought a known good e4od for a small block not knowing that the bell bolt pattern was different. So. Question. Can I pull the guts out of that known good trans and shove them into Mt diesel e4od case?

welcome to OBN Xander.hope your enjoying the site.this section is just used for welcomes,not details on truck help because others wont be searching here for help in the future,however in short; no.diesel trans guts are different and more robust in a lot of parts so im afraid your used trans would do someone else far more good than it would you.re-sell it and keep looking for a diesel E4OD.
