If the auto from the 91 is computer controlled, E40D for example. You would need the computer and wiring harness from that truck, not to mention possibly different length drivelines and crossmembers, shift linkage, od cancel switch, etc?

To be honest I don't know, There's a mass of wires on my drivers side fenderwell. I have a 90 F250 4x4 with the E40D tranny. I'm not sure if the tranny has a seperate harness or if it's in the main mess. But we'll bump this up and maybe someone smarter can help you.
