Default tranny to motor

I have a 85 f150 300 l6 that I am doing a complete off frame restore, would very much like to get away from the truck manual tranny to a manual one out of a car. I have no clue as to what interchanges with what, or what it would take to make it happen. Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated

use a t5 from a mustang v8 car and retain your belhousing, you may have to switch clutch discs but otherwise it should fit using the mount from a ranger

My first truck was an 85 with manual tranny back in 1996. Paid $300 for it and it ran like crazy. Traded it in on a new car, and have missed it ever since. The tranny that I had was hydraulic and it was awesome. Why do you want to trade, just curious?

Default Ford truck trannies.

Hi I am new to the sight and I live in Southeastern Arizona in Graham County where we still have 85 percent public land that is accessible. I love the back country here. I have a 1986 Ford Bronco II with a 2.9 v6 and and a4ld auto. I would like to dispense with the a4ld and install a ford truck tranny instead. Is there a ford truck unit that will bolt up to my 2.9? What all will I need to accomplish this. I have a remote transfer case. I have been building VW based off road for many years so I have the experience and all the equipment I need to do the job just not up to date on what will work. If anybody can help me here it would be appreciated. I have good used SM465 but don't know if there is a way to adapt it into my Bronco. Any body ever done that? If you can help me please email me at jyrasco1936@gmail.com. Thank you
