Transmission swap possible?

Aloha all, just saw a marketplace posting on the islands for a fully rebuilt ZF S5-42 transmission that someone purchased for a “92-98 diesel F350”.

Ive always dreamed of my 84 6.9 F250 being a manual, does this transmission bolt directly to the 6.9? We unfortunately don’t have junk yards out here so I would have to find the clutch pedal and all other items online as well. Just seeing if this is a feasible swap before I reach out.

mahalo for any information you may have

yes the trans will bolt to your block. you will need pedal assembly, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, and clutch assembly. you will also probably need a trans mount crossmember and driveshaft.
if your truck is currently automatic you will need to cut a hole in the floor for shifter too.

Not necessarily, the 86 cab that I just bolted onto my 83 had the bolt in trans tunnel, but doesn't have the holes for the clutch master cylinder, go figure.
