I have a 1992 f250 (completely rusted out) with a rebuilt 5.8 and a 1989 f250 with a missing 5.0. The 1989 is a Arizona truck with almost not rust. The 1992 has an rebuilt automatic E4od and the 89 is a manual. I want to put the 5.8 in the 89. Not sure if I should convert it to an automatic or not.
The 92 has been our farm plow truck for the last ten years, but the body is gone and I need to do something. Looking to you experts out there to give me advise and or alert me to any problems with doing this.
Any information is appreciated
Thanks

 

You can use the computer from the 92 to power it and control the e4od as well. The m5od is a horrible transmission for plowing, so either stick with the e4od or look into a zf5 swap.
