2wd tranny

I have an 87 bronce with a 5.0 and a not factory 3-speed auto. I also have a wrecked 92 f-150 2wd 5.0 5-speed. Is it possible at all to retrofit the tranny so that it will bolt up to the transfer case? I am a machinist so making parts is not out of the question, I know I will probably have to get a 4wd 5-speed out of a junkyard. I was just hoping to use the tranny i already have. Thanks

You would have to replace the output shaft and rear case half. On a standard trans. you would have to tear the Trans completely apart to do this. You would be better off selling it on e-bay or somewhere else. And getting the right one.

and since you have to sell it anyway. get a zf 5speed. far more durable then the m5od you currently have. although that 3speed in your current bronco, thats a C6 right or is it the manual 3 speed?
