trans swap

I have a 74 f250 with a c6 trans , I want to swap it out for a 4 or 5 speed to improve my mph. It has a 360 moter now , I also want to put a np205 behine the new trans instead of a divorced np2o8 or np203 (the stamp is not clear)

you will probably have to use a 4 speed, i am not aware of any 5 speed 4X4 trans that will bolt to the FE block.
if you go with a married t-case, you will also have to have new drive shafts made unless you can find a truck to grab them from.

There's a company that makes an FE to SBF bell housing adapter if your really set on a 5 speed.

Also you T case would be a 203 or 205, not a 208
