zf5 speed question

I have a 1993 f-250 7.5L 4x4 with an e4od and I am thinking about swapping to a manual ZF5 speed. My question is I found a 2wd ZF tranny and I know on some auto tranny's you can remove the rear nose cone looking thing and bolt a transfer case up to them. Can this be done to a 2wd ZF5? Thanks in advance.

Nope!

Well it can but you don't want to ... There is no rear cone, it is the back half of the case and it's a rear loaded trans.

You'll need to find a ZF out of a Diesel 4x4 ... Good luck, they are hard to come buy and pricey!

-Enjoy

No, he needs the 460/7.5 gas version, as his truck has 7.5L, right?
