Will a 4sp from an 87 big bronco 4.9 inline 6 bolt up to a 90 big bronco 5.0 v8 with a 5sp? both are stock.

It will bolt to the engine but uses a different crossmember mounted to a different place on the frame. The 4 speed is shorter, so that means a longer rear and shorter front driveshaft as well.

In theory, but I'd measure it up to confirm.
