ZF5 tranny issue

Greetings everybody. Great site!! I have a 91 F250 that I use/used in the winter, but @ the end of last year the trans started to jump out of reverse---Not to often, but once in a while. Now it wont even move in reverse with out jumping out. I have heard these tranny's were the achelies heel of the ZF's, and my search for one has come up anything but good. (Either cheap and no warr. or re-man and $1500.00) My Q is this, I have found several ZF5's that were originaly bolted to a 460--and mine is a 351W.......Will it bolt up being that the bellhousings are part of the housing?

NO...the smallblocks and big blocks had seperate bolt patterns...this also goes for any other Ford that I'm familiar with.

I kinda figured that would be the case--Was hoping the bolt patterns would line up, but oh well. Thanks
