Hi ive been reading forums on this site for a long time and figured u guys could help me with my problem ...last night I blew up the engine and trans both in the same night pulling a horse trailer and its a 96 f150 with a 5.0 and an auto trans 4x4 ... I have a 95 f150 with a 300 and a 5sp ... Wat do I need to do to swap them ... I have done the engine swap like this before but im lost wen it comes to converting my 5sp 2wd into a 5sp 4x4 ... any help wuld b very much appreciated

 

if you want to keep 4x4, you'll need to get a trans from a 4x4 vehicle. In your case, the best thing to do would be find a used auto trans from a 4x4 vehicle (probably e4od), and swap in your 300. Is your 2wd truck bad enough that you wanna just scrap it? And to go from auto to manual you have to swap in the pedals, all the clutch hardware, transmission crossmember, driveshaft.

 

Yes the other truck was rolled over so its for sure goin to a scrap yard ... but is there any way that I can convert my manual trans into a 4x4 trans

 

Trans needs to be completely disassembled to change the tailshaft to a 4x4 one. Need transfer case adapter. '96 is OBDII and '95 is OBDI so the wiring underhood and in the cab is different. You would have to swap it all and it wouldn't be emissions legal. Better to see about what's involved with the VIN plate at your DMV for a cab swap.

 

I have no emitions testing were I live and Wat do u mean by cab swap ... also witch wires under the dash do I have to replace

 

The truck would legally be the '95. A cab is just a part, the VIN plate just happens to be attached to it. I'm not sure how much inside the cab is different, just that they definitely are.

 

Im definitely gona do the swap ... ina couple days im tired of not having a truck ... I just needa disassemble my 5sp nd make it a 4x4 5sp

 

If you convert the trans take pictures and write it up. It's something we talk about a lot on this site.
