Will a ZF-6 bolt up to a SB?

[Crewwzin]

I've tried searching to no avail. I have a '66 Bronco with the 240 I-6 and 3-speed that I want to swap out to a 302/351 (havent decided yet) and a later model standard with overdrive. I know the ZF-5 will work if I source it from the right truck, but my question is, how will the ZF-6 work (if it will)? Thanks in advance for your help. Creww

Unfortunately the 6 speed doesn't come in the right bolt pattern. And because the bellhousing and transmission are all in one you cannot swap the bellhousings.

Can you swap the bellhousings on the ZF-5?

edit: I just found a picture of a ZF-5 and answered my own question. Thanks for the help.

Nope, integral bell. Only two ZF S6-65 patterns are for the 7.3L and modular motors.

You can however track down a '88-'95 ZF S5-42 or '96-'97 S5-47 from behind a 300 or 351.

Would also need the hydro system and pedals to go along too.

You mean a 300 I-6 or is that a typo meant to say 302? Because I didnt know the 300 had the same bolt pattern as the 351. If so, thats great. That widens my range of vehicles to find such a beast. Thanks guys.
