So I'm considering possibly doing a manual transmission swap into my 76 sport someday down the road. I have always liked the way the M5OD transmission shifted in the later Ford Rangers. I believe theu call it the R1. There is an R2 for the F150s and such. I'd like to run a 5.0 but I can find 4.0s with lower miles on them frequently for decent price. Has anyone ever done a 4.0 out of a Ranger or such into a Bronco? I have never used a NP4500 or 3500 or any others for that matter except a Honda civic with a 5-speed. Do you all have any insite of what would be the best route to go as far as transmission?
Something I don't want is a shift stick on the floor that doesn't look factoryish. I do plan to keep the Dana 20. Can any of you share pictures of your shiting area inside your Broncos with how it is set up and how it looks? Also, would like feedback on performance.
Thanks
