Was it 454? Such a long time ago, that I don't remember.
My bad.
What I remember is that it never spit a plug

Hummm.... someone said the V6 ecoboost in the F150 would not be able to produce 400 ft-lb torque.
2011 Ford EcoBoost F-150 puts out 365 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque — Autoblog
Little low on the hp IMO, but the torque curve is wonderful, 90% torque from 1700 to 5000 RPM's.
But since this is a turbo engine, I'll give it 1 month untill someone has one at 500 hp and 700 ft-lb torque.

Actually he has that inline turboed but that's not the point. It sounded to me you was saying any thing manual will do the trick. I'm trying to look his tranny up I don't its as bad as you say. Just for my benifit.
My comment about the t5 manual was in addition to that I know the differnce that I've used a few. In no way am I compairing it to mine or any other truck.

I know you aren't comparing the tranny in a mustang to a tranny in a truck. What I am saying is that the difference in gear ratios from a mustang auto to a mustang manual is barely noticeable. Same for the difference in a 150 automatic and manual. There is a slight difference, but not much at all. There is a HUGE difference between the 1st in my 5.4 and the 1st in a TS or 4r100.

I am saying any manual will work since this is a comparison in the super duty section and all of our manuals will have the low 1st gear. Once you start comparing 150's or cars or anything other than what we are comparing here, that argument isn't valid because most of the time there isn't much difference in the gear ratios from an auto to a manual. I would also be willing to bet his truck has a 3.55 or 3.73 rear end since it is a 150.
