5R55E Tranny swap

[high_horse_ford]

I have a 97 explorer sport with the 4.0 OHV. I am looking for a salvage yard tranny. Is the bell housing the same for a SOHC as a OHV and is the overall length the same as a 4dr? Also they ask is there a OD drum ? Wouldn't all 5speeds have a OD drum. Thanks for your help.

I heard that there might be one bolt difference but the shape/pattern is the same -- a SOHC transmission will bolt up to an OHV.
