TRANNY SWAPP?!?!?
I pulled a 90' motor out and put it in my 86 f150... its perfect fit, the 302, but i have to finish getting this wiring harness switched over to the 90 motor.... but im wondering, the 90' motor has 80k on it... so im guessing the 5 speed tranny that was with it would be good too. I have the 86 4 speed, but i want the 5 speed for more speed 
and longer lasting considering its newer with less wear and tear. but would the 90' 5 speed fit with a transfer case for the 4x4 and fit on the mounts... obviously itll mount to the motor since theyre the same thing, but i need it on the transfer case.

I don't know about that, you may be able to swap the tailshaft on the 5spd to accept a transfer case. The best bet would be to find a 4x4 trans to start with.

The 4x2 tranny will not work in a 4x4 unless the 4x2 tranny is completely torn down and the tailshaft and related components are swapped out for 4x4 components.
