transmission ? please help!!!

Hi I have a 97 f150 4.6 4x4 with a 4r70w id tag # f65pc-a. My trans went out the other day and I have located some transmissions that match, but I have also found some that are 4r70w's that I would much rather have for cheaper. For instance I found one out of a 98 mustang with a b&m shift kit. If i take off the tail shaft and bolt up mytransfer case can i put that trans in my truck? Why does ford make it so hard to match up and find parts? What transmissions can I put in my truck? Am I really limited to the F65pc-a?

The mustang trans will not work. You need to find an f150 4x4 4r70w from either a 97 or 98. Later years might work also, but I think they changed electronics in 99.
