7.3L E40D differences???

[BigRigTech]

Can anyone tell me if an E40D trans from a 1997 E350 1-ton van with a 7.3L Powerstroke turbo diesel will fit a 1994 E350 cubevan with an old school 7.3L that is not turbocharged....I know it should bolt up but I'm wondering about the shift solenoid wiring and such.

The torque converter is different. Use the IDI torque converter.

 

[BigRigTech]

So it will work other than using the torque converter from the 94?

Big Rig Tech,

I cross posted your thread to both the PSD forum and the IDI forum, it will get maximum responses and exposure that way.

You'll need to use a 94 torque converter and solenoid pack.

IDI torque converters are 4 stud, PSD converters are 6 stud. And you need the right year solenoid pack to match the computer, solenoid pack is a 5 minute swap once the pan is off.

Good info, thanks. I'm parting out the 97 E350 PSD I bought for $1500 and I might have a buyer for the tranny already.

So the 6.9L/7.3L IDI pattern is the same as the 7.3L PSD?

The bellhousing pattern is supposed to be the same from 6.9 all the way to the lastest and greatest 7.3 PSD. I hear tell that the 6.0 was supposed to continue that trend but I'm not sure of that...

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Yes the bolt patterns are the same.

Ok on the 7.3Ls, but the 6.0L did switch to the 4.6L/5.4L/6.8L modular pattern.
