Ive always wanted a 5speed v8 f150 but ive got a 92 f150 with a 351w and im wanting to convert it to a 5speed manual. Any advice or tips or good deals??

Best thing to do is find a donor truck and has to be a 92-96 F150\250\350 for the matching column, pedals, mast\slave, and trans, to properly install into a 92 truck. I want very badly to do the same but I cant find a good donor truck around here, you might want to find a 250 5 spd I heard they are stronger than the 150 trans.

i thought they didnt even put a 5 spd behind the 351 in the 92-96 f150? i know they did for larger trucks cause my neighbor has a 94 f250 351 spd

Are you wanting to use the ZF or M5OD? The ZF is better but you won't find one in an F150, you'll have to search the 250s and 350s. I used the M5OD but I swapped it in place of the TOD 4 speed. '88-'96 clutch pedal assembly will work if the truck had the M5OD. '88-'91 M5OD isn't as strong as the '92-'96 ones.

i always figured if i did the swap id use the ZF and a NP205 transfer case while im tearing into it.

You won't find a ZF with the 205 case mated onto it. The 150's in these years did not have a standard behind the 351, and the ZF transmissions were after Ford switched to the BW transfer cases.

i know i wont find one all together but i know it can be done. Theres a guy on another forum with a 300 ZF NP205 combo. Plus its more fun if you build the whole thing right? lol
