twintornados Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 A 10R80 in a Panther chassis vehicle seems like a bit of overkill...but a 6R80 would make for a nice improvement to overall performance and drivability...but I guess if you are willing to do that, then whats a few more gears....lol.

Biker16 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 One of my dream projects is doing CMAX PHEV swap into my Transit Connect. I don't know when I would have time to do it, and when I did, would a pure EV conversion make more sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going that far just do a full restomod with a new frame, modern suspension and coyote powertrain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 225HP V8 isn't going to benefit from a 10 speed transmission that much, outside of shifting too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy an IDbuzz, if it were cheaper, or had a bigger battery, or a PV5 if its ever sold here. Edited January 7 by Biker16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The shop did the conversion to show off its 10R control unit can be used in a wide variety of vehicles as others have said the 6R trans in crown BOC makes more sense. more than 20 years ago we had 5.4 Boss and ZF6HP in Aussie Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew L Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I wonder if I could swap this in my 04 Aviator. I know totally not worth it but would be a huge upgrade over the 5R55S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Surprising that CV never received 5.4 3V and ZF 6-speed auto, would have been an easy get from F150 On second thoughts, perhaps a bullet dodged with regards spark plug issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
