c-6 or e40d to a 5sp??

hey all, how hard is it to swap an auto to a stick, in a 91 IDI 4x4 f-250 excab. I think it would be the e40d , but Im not sure. when did ford switch? I was wondering if it is worth doing the switch instead of the inevitable rebuild at 160k, have any of you all ever done the swap?

If you must do the switch get a donor vehicle for all the parts under the dash and trans, clutch accessories etc.

I am looking to do the same swap as well.. I have an 88 F-250 Ext Cab 4x4 with the 7.3 and a C-6. I was told that the swap was very straight forward. You will need the ENTIRE clutch/brake pedal bracket as well as the safty switches, steering column, trans, driveshafts, and clutch resevoir assembly.
