Ah gotcha. haha damn 4 transmissions thats crazy but the 5.4 makes a lot of low end torque so i wouldnt expect that m5od to last long behind it. Putting in a zf would be really sweet. Will they bolt up using the same bellhousing or do you need to get one from a super duty?

Both transmissions have the Bell housing as an integral part of the tranny. I will need a Clutch and flywheel and T-case from a SuperDuty. Because the tranny t-case combo is longer then the M5OD I will need to have the front drive shaft lengthened and the rear shortened. I will also have to adjust th shift linkage to fit the F-150.

Sounds like it should be a pretty bad *** setup when all is said and done.

A friend of mine has an 06 with the 6L and he is putting over 1100 ft/lbs of torque to the rear wheels. If his doesn't break I certainly will not brake one.

I can't remember but I think it is some where around 250hp and 325ft/lbs to the wheels.
