Not sure about the best, but it was the easiest (and close to cheapest) way I found. I have a friend that put a 4R70W in his Lincoln Mark VII, and used the Baumann stuff. He swears by it. Looking at their site, it won't take a lot to program it- their software is even compatible with Windows 98- so I figured even I could figure it out. I had a similar post in the engine and drivetrain section a couple of months ago, and it was discussed that swapping the engine wiring harness out of a 94-95 truck and using the PROM from a 91-94 454SS truck will work, but sounds like it will be a lot more work to do. I had found a 4L80E out of a '99 454 truck with mileage in the 60's from a yard I use all the time, so that didn't scare me so much. You might talk to 68 TT about the newer wiring harness swapout. It might be easier than it sounds, but I just didn't want to go that route.
