So all of you Mopar guys!

As far as the solenoids go...(I'll try to be brief) Had a 93 f350 with a 7.3 and the e4od. Broke the planetary so I got another e4od out of a 98. Connectors etc all different.(6 planetary instead of 3 planetaries, much stronger too) I wired the solenoids (to test) and ran the wires up to the dash. Put the truck in drive and nothing. Depending on which switch (or series of switches) I went through all the gears as well as locking up the converter. Even went for a test drive.
So, yes it can be done.
Hassle? Yeah, a bank of 4 switches that you toggle through going down the track?...that would be interesting to say the least in competition!

You'd probably have to throw some relays into the mix, too.
Doesn't sound impossible though.
