Accidental 6.4L buy.
Got a call from a friend of mine that is the equivalent of me in a parallel world with Chevy trucks. He was at an estate auction and accidentally bought an F-350, but it didn't run well. "Could you stop by and take a look?" Ooooooof, as soon as I saw the headlights, that's a 6.4L.
"You ****ed up dude."
Pulled codes to cylinder 6 misfire, glow plug circuits failure, VIN number missmatch, every possible ABS fault, DPF faults, etc.
"No, this isn't just gonna be a put a hone down the bores inframe with a new set of headgaskets."
"Oh. Would you want it for parts..."
So now I have a new 6.4L. Dang it. Plan is to keep the axles and frame to put a 1995 460, Holley Terminator, ZF5, 1356 combo in it, and my 1979 F-150 Lariat body on it. I'll set the engine aside for parts for my '08.
First question I have is the 5R110 the same behind the 6.4L as the 6.0L so I'd keep that as a spare for my '05?

the torque converter is a lower speed stall, and uses 8 bolts
the 6.4 pan / filter is a larger capacity
the 6.4 trans is the same as the ‘05-‘07 units for gearing (lower 1-2-3 gears than the ‘03-‘04 units)
