yo,
made a mistake 15 years ago by telling someone to use the Driver's side label to ID their Rear Differential (axle, pumpkin type, etc.) or Transmission Code; turned out that a previous owner had swapped a Dana 60 in place of the stock 8.8
so... a run down;
AOD, C6 & E4OD Identification;
If the shifter has a P-R-N-OD-D-1 pattern, the transmission must be an AOD
If it has an Overdrive Cancel Switch and a P-R-N-OD-2-1 shifter pattern, then it is equipped with an E4OD MIESK5
The C6 pattern is is P-R-N-D-2-1
You can measure the transmission fluid pan to determine which transmission you have if identification information is not available.
A 4R70W transmission pan has an overall length of just under 15 inches, while an E4OD pan is much larger, measuring about E4OD pans are 20.5” by 13.5” with 20 bolts.-
But a visual depiction is better!

As my pal and resident Expert Mechanic and Bronco Rebuilder, as well as a fine fellow, Seabronc advised;
all 289, 302, 351W and 351C blocks used the same bellhousing bolt pattern, 5-1/8 in. between the top bolts; The 351M, 400 and 429 blocks have the same bolt pattern as the 460, (7-3/4 in. between the top bolts)
