Transmission Swap
Hey Guys,
I tried to find somthing similar in older threads but I'd like some case specific help on this one. I have a 95 F150 2wd auto with the 300 and an 83 bronco manual 4x4 that also has the 300. I want to get the 83 manual transmission into my 95 auto. The 95 feels like it has a lead in its butt compared to the 83 inspite of the EFI. The only thing I can figure is the gearing was better (low end) in the 83.
I've looked at the transmission info page. Thanks to adrianspeeder. I have the E4OD in the 95 and I can't figure which I have in the 83 (the door panel is worn right on the code) its a manual 4 speed no o/d so There are a several it cood be. I'll try to get the dealership to check the vin and maybe they can tell me.
I'm hoping this should be a decently easy swap. From new to old and from auto to manual ... should be as easy as it gets right? the only catch I can see is the 4x4 might have a lower rear end then the 2wd
does this sound possible? what problem do you guys forsee? tips? Any and all help is greatly appreciated
