I want to use the small block version of the ZF5 behind the 5.0 in my 4x4 Ranger, but I have some Q's about it. I think I already know the answers but want to make sure...
1. Does it use the same slave, clutch, and hydraulic setup as the F-150's M5R2? That's what I have in the Ranger now and it is destroyed...
2. Is a 3 inch body lift adequate to clear the transmission tunnel?
3. Will any ZF5 from a truck with the 4.9 or 5.8 work? I'd rather have the close ratio version since it is closer to the M5R2's ratios, but I believe that is only available with the diesels... I can live with the granny gear.
4. Also, I assume it has the same generic 6 bolt pattern to mate up to a BW4406 transfer case?
Thanks.
