The 4406 that comes behind the F150/Expedition will bolt directly behind the 4R70w, and are fairly stout.

I think im going to try the 205 i have access to one with slip yoke from a f150 and one with a fixed yoke from a bronco .Would like to use the fixed yoke 205 out of the bronco but then im pretty shure ill need to have the bronco drive shaft custome built .
