manual transmission options for a 96 f150
I have a 96 F 150 4x4 about to get a frame up. I plan on adding a 3 inch body to my six in suspension lift. I have diffs with 4:56 gears to turn 37" tires with 20" rims. To power all of this I have a 347 stroker with 400hp and 400 Ft/ lbs. I am getting rid of my automatic transmission to put in a standard but I am looking for suggestions on what to use. Everything I read has someone saying that the zfs and the m5r2s can't handle the amount of torque I'm am going to have but I also realize you can't believe everything you read on the internet and that manual transmissions are very solid. Any suggestions are welcome

It's a Canadian thing eh!
Well the M5OD is tough but won't last long under 400hp. I would go for the ZF, much heavier duty and better gear ratios.
