4 speed swap

4 speed swap
So I have a 87 or an 89 f250 standard cab long bed with a 460 and a 4 speed. I also have a 91 f250 extra cab long bed with the 460 and a automatic transmission.
I was just curious if the 4 speed will swap into the 91?
Any info would be great, everything I've looked at so far points to yes. I also know I'll have to swap the pedal assembly and everything else thay has to do with the 4 speed. My other question would be about transmission mount, t case, and drivelines and if I would have to swap any of those.
Thanks

The trans will bolt up to the engine and you should be able to make it work. Is the auto you're removing a C6 or an E4od? If it's the E4od then it's controlled by the engine's computer and you'll need to get a computer from either a manual truck or one with a C6 trans as the C6 was not computer controlled. IIRC the last year for the 4speed manual was '87 which was also the last year for carbs on the 460 so your donor truck probably doesn't have the computer you'd need.
There may be a dozen or more things I'm not aware of to make the swap but they should be minor. You should be able to make this work.

Any OBD I computer for a 460 mated to a manual or C6 should work. 88-91 I think are the years you'd be looking for. You'll want to double check that with a more reliable source than I however.
