    I found a set of marine 4bt's about 3 hours away from me for $1500 each. I have a 2000 f150 with an m5od-r2 tranny in it, so it makes a perfect swap host. I was no intending on starting the swap for a while, but I like to look for motors on craigslist. I know the ancillary components are...

    Has anyone ever grafted the Dodge flip outs on to a truck other than a Dodge? I'd like to install them on my 02 F150. I know some custom work would be needed but was wondering if anyone had ever done this or had a template of the bolt locations and trim on either the first gen flip outs or the...

    Started thinking about this build since April ‘10. Since then I've been gathering up most all the parts. The truck started out as an 1985 F-150 5.0 EFI 4x4 AOD/NP208 with 3.55 axle gearing (I believe, been a while since I've checked.) with 31" tires. Plan to make it an 1985 F-150 4BT 4x4...

    Is there a good way to determine which 5 speed (ZF or M5OD-R2) is in a 9th gen F150 (92-96)? I know both the ZF42/47 and the M5OD-R2 will bolt right up to a 4BT. From a shopping perspective for a suitable swap candidate, I would just like to know which "5 speed" I'm looking at without having to...

    I've seen alot of post of conversions on older ford trucks like mid 90's and later but none on newer trucks. I have a 2005 f150 that I want to convert. Is this possible? It's a 2 wheel drive supercab lariat. First I wanted to go to the 5.9 cummins but now I've read alot about the 4bt and not...

    I have an 02 F150 with the 4.2L V6 and a M5OD-R2 with 3.55 gearing. I would like to get some info on what it would take to swap a 4BT in. Will a M5 bolt up to the 4BT and can it handle the engine with an upgraded clutch? What all would be needed in order to get the engine running (ie fuel pump...
