what other tranny swaps have you guy heard of besides the 47rh and the nv4500. 2 years ago a guy was sellin a ranger with a 4bt/ford ZF 5spd. after doin some research im finding out for the cost of the build for my 727, could be put towards something with an overdrive or a 5spd. any ideas or options? i found a ford zf 5spd out of a 91 f350 diesel.
Thanks

 

YES, you can swap just about trans in there many companys are makin adapter plates for these motors you can check out destroked, novak, and advanced adapters.

 

thanks for the names of companys anyone have any experience with the zf 5spd? Thanks

 

Not sure, i know its a good trans, 300,000 on a 95 powerstoke truck i looked at a few weeks ago. the trans was just starting to act up.

I'm not sure about the torque limit on it though, i think its not quite the torque limit of a nv4500.

rusty250, the cummins to ZF adapter is gonna be about $700. figured in that cost with EVERYTHING else you'll need for the coversion, don't forget about the pedals, hydraulics, bellhousing, trans, everything you'll need to do a successful auto to 5 speed swap.

 

i found a guy whos sellin the tranny with pedals, clutch, flywheel, and other stuff for 500, this is why im wondering, i would like to do a nv4500, but finding one around me is the main problem.

 

A fellah on here named something like Bearkiller has a ford with a 12v hooked to his zf5. He might have some info for you
