ZF-5 Speed Conversion

Hi Everyone, I went to swap meet this past weekend and came home with a ZF-5 speed for a 460 4x4. I was not looking for one, but stumbled on one. The seller was asking 500, but we settled on 300. The transmission is out of an 88 460 4x4. I have an 85 F250 with a T-19. Does anyone know what is involved in the conversion? Do I need a different clutch disc and pressure plate? I assume the flywheel is the same, is this correct? The throwout bearing is different, but the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder appears to be the same. Will this transmission bolt up to my transfer case, I have a Borg Warner 1345 I think? Will the crossmember line up? Are there any driveshaft length differences? Lastly, will there be any problems with the holes in the floor or interferences in the cab with the shifter? I do not seem to be able to do a search on this forum for this subject, there is no search tab, am I doing something wrong? Thanks
