I have an 88 Reg Cab LB 2WD 2.9/Mazda 5-spd. My son blew the eng so I'm going to drop in a 302. I can get a adapter for the Mazda trans but it looks like lots of money and trouble to keep that trans. I only use the truck for daily driving, no 4x4 or drag racing. Was thinking of doing an AOD with the 302 or should I keep the std, I dont mind shifting. Are there any OD man trans besides the T-5 that will hold up. I saw some threads about the M5ODR2 but does it require major mods to install or is there something else that would be better. Just looking for ideas. I haven't seen any f-150 around here with the v-6 that has that trans. I hunt the JY fairly often and know what to look for. Again any ideas would be appreciated
