    4r70w question

    What would be required to convert a 4r70w (4x4/awd) from an explorer to a 2wd?

    Probably output shaft and tail housing. Butt .... you need an empty box to swap the shaft ... first in, last out.
    I'd keep looking for a 2wd.

    Haven’t taken one apart that far, figured I’d ask the question....first.

    A guy locally has s complete 5.0 explorer drivetrain on CL. All wiring, 5.0 with efi and computer, 2wd 4R70W and disc brake rear end with 3.55 traction lock. All for $600 asking.
    If I had room, I would buy it just to get the tranny for my Shelby. It has an AOD now. Needs something that shifts better.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Re: 4r70w question

    Sounds like a good deal Steve.

    Perhaps someone is looking for 5.0 and Explorer rear end near you.
