'93 F-150 build

[Sharpe]

Yeah, go rob it fron a junk yard, remember junk yards have a "special sale" this weekend, if you can put it in your pants, its free.

If you can't find one, I have one for a C6, don't know if it will fit.

Or you can use a tool bag. That way you dont get grease all over your dick. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, enjoy yourself.

That's why Frick goes there every weekend.

I decided to go manual today.

Is there anything missing from this list of parts needed?

Zf5 Speed tranny
Bellhousing

I could be wrong, but I thought the ZF's had external slave cylinders, those look internal. Internal sucks my anus!

bellhousing is part of the transmission

finding a 5.0 flywheel sucked. mustang **** is tiny, and I think 5.8 stuff is different. I think I had to buy a new one from plano auto after much research, but this was a long time ago

I would recommend buying that stuff from a local parts store. Its easier to return it if you get the wrong thing which is very possible with this setup. They also are out of stock in the clutches, and appear to be deep frying the clutch hydraulics.

breaded SS hose and the slave cylinder. The M/C and slave cylinder are stock Ford parts.

pedals. i say take one of your two e40d's (or both) to john browns trans guy, and see what he can do.

Everybody I've talked to, even my cousin who owns a transmission shop told me that this transmission will cost close to 2k to rebuild. I don't have that kind of money and I'd rather have a manual tranny anyways.

look at www.car-part.com to see how much you'll be paying for a transmission. You'll easily spend more than $1000 on this swap.

I agree with flem the manual parts are hard to find. Zf transmissions fetch a premium $500-700 for just the trans. You need to talk to williamace on the boards or get his phone number from someone. It is prolly in the members section. He has done almost this identical swap.

I think by the time you source parts and slap a new clutch in it your gonna be 1000-1200.

[KrazyKarl02]

5.0 and 5.8 flywheels have different balancing weights (atleast the new ones, like your year do)

OK, I think I will try to keep discussion to this thread. yes the auto will cost a good bit to rebuild, not disputing that. Oliver brothers did mine and put seals in my transfercase, also did the R&R, and it was 2300.

The manual swap, like everyone is saying, will also cost a good bit. Are you planning on a rebuilt/new manual trans? Also, take into account time and headaches.

I would think at least giving clarkes a shot would be a good idea.

What is the old trans doing?

[Seth]

Also, think about the other crap that makes it a nice conversion, like eliminating the PRNDL, including a clutch starter interlock, eliminating the column shift/column, any ECM differences, etc.

[colman]

best bet is buy a parts truck with a blown motor or something if your that serious

[stx4wheeler]

Also don't forget about driveshafts
