I know for the zf5 it would be puter, wiring, drive shaft, clutch system and pedels

oh yeah i also heard that the 460 zf5 with bolt to the psd is that true as well?

X2^^^^^^ The ZF6 isn't just a bolt in swap. The amount of work to put one in isn't worth the trouble. As I have heard it put before, " The juice isn't worth the squeeze".

The ideal way is to have a complete donor truck, but that's not always possible. Since your truck is 2wd, it will be a little easier. You will need.......
ZF5 trans
cross member
trans wiring harness
floor pan with shifter hole
pedal assembly
clutch master and slave cylinders
solid flywheel and clutch assembly
steering column cover
key release mechanism
drive shaft will have to be lengthened
some wiring mods
manual PCM or have your auto PCM flashed to manual

No problem bud. Do you have a solid flywheel now? If not, you may want to go ahead and include that in your clutch kit. I recommend Valair.Performance Clutch - Ford PowerStroke
