you can either check the door jamb sticker or check the pattern of the transmission pan underneath the tranny. Go to http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fd/full.aspx?Page=9
, should be page 9, and compare the pattern of your tranny pan with the ones listed on the right of the page, and thatll tell you

I think he means that the E4OD seems a bit small to be be bolted up to a 7.3L
It does seem a bit small to me, unless maybe it was a reg cab 2wd, I would at least want a 4RW70

The 4r70w has never been behind a diesel because it wouldn't last.
Ford used the e4od till 99 behind the diesel then they beefed it up and called it the 4r100. Then used that trans till 2003/2004 when they built the 5r110.
The e4od is a great trans and very strong stock if you keep it cool and service it. when upgraded can support over 1000 lbft of torque in diesel applications.

Lol if you think a 4r70w is a bigger/stronger trans then the e4od then you obviously never owned or serviced it.

Guess I was wrong
Just funny cause I've seen E4od's go bad in 2wd 300 and 4x4 351
But in all fairness I would actually want a 5spd.
