tranny swap
i have a 1987 f250 4x4 460 cid 4spd. I am looking into swaping out the 4spd for a 5 speed and was wondering what easy options i might have.

The only 5 speed to consider is a ZF. The M5OD is too light duty.

The transfer case will bolt onto any 4wd transmission. As for the clutch you may need a different pressure plate, the input shaft may have different splines.
