Help with ZF 5-speed in my 54?

My searching on here has not produced much. I would like to follow some threads about installing 460 ZF 5-speeds in the 53-56 Ford F-100. I do relize it's a custom build but anybody have any tips or tricks. Thanks for the help.

Make sure to find an older one because the newer trucks had the speedometer sensor on the rear diff so the tranny had no speedometer sensor
