E4OD to ZF5 swap

I want to replace my E4OD in my 94 f350 ccdrw 7.3 IDIT diesel with the ZF5 or ZF6 manual transmission and am currently gathering parts to do so but I am not entirely sure what all I will need, the guy at the junkyard that I use regularly wants to make me a package deal on the following from a 1997 f350 ccsrw with a powerstroke:
ZF5 transmission
crossmember
pedal assembly
clutch master cylinder
slave cylinder
hydraulic line
driveshaft
trans tunnel
shifter with boot/cover/hardware etc
All for $850.00 which will leave me needing to buy a clutch and flywheel, fluid, u-joints, grease and a new trans mount. What else do I need to make this right, I want all my accessories( cruise control, reverse lights, starter interlock) to work right when I am done I dont want my truck to be ghetto rigged when I am done so any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

$850 is a damn good price for all that.
here in the northeast, you will pay between $750 and $1500 just for a diesel trans, depending on 2 wheel (low price) or 4 wheel drive. (high price)

Like Tom said. That is a GREAT deal.

I will assume your truck is a 2wd dually so no need for t-case or front driveshaft.

You will also need the harness under the truck for the manual trans and the Nuetral safety switch in the cab on the pedal assembly

No mention of a steering column without the shift arm for the auto or a cluster without indicator. (or just a blank off plate)

can I just remove the shifter arm and install the trim off a manual column or do i have to change the whole column? I would prefer to leave in my old steering column because i just had it rebuilt 4 months ago. Thanks

There's no necessity to swap the column.
In fact one member (Brad from OZ?)recently mentioned that he had both in his truck.

Thanks folks for the help I will be picking up the parts in the next few days I hope but I think my Injector pump has one foot in the grave and the other on a bananna peel so we will have to see what that takes to fix!
