99 4wd - 5.0/4R70W/BW4406
I'm looking for a 4R70W for a 4wd V8 swap in my '99 Ranger. This one's available from a seller in the region:

Can anyone visually confirm that it's a 4R70W (vs one of the V6 transmissions)? The seller indicates that it's from a 5.0, but he's a couple of hours away and I'd love to positively ID it before heading out. I tried looking for images of both but would love some reassurance. Thanks for any help!
 






Looks like a 4r70w to me.
 






Awesome, thanks!
 






You can easily tell by the pan. The 4r70w will have 14 bolts and be mostly square. I think the 4R/5r transmissions have 18 bolts and are more rectangular.
