did a 1979 bronco 351 come with a manual trans
I am looking at a 1979 with a 351m with a auto, I want to convert it to a manual trans.
but was wondering if it came with a manual trans. haven't seen one for sale yet.

They came with a NP435, 4 speed manual with a 6.69:1 first (granny gear).
Many guys swap in a ZF5, you have to get a flywheel anyhow, this way you get OD and better milage.

Not sure if you can get a ZF S5-42 with the 351M/400 bellhousing. Someone knows though.
