Zf5 with a 4.0

[Oakes]

Has anybody ever swapped a zf5 onto their 4.0 v6. I am tired of ripping out my autos an wanna go big or go home . I also like the 4.0 and don't wanna swap to a 5.0.

The 4.0 is a great engine, but it doesn't really require the beef of a ZF5. Other things to consider are the fact that the ZF has a different pattern from the 4.0, and the ZF is already a really tight fit in the Ranger.

If (big if) you can find/get an adapter plate to make it happen you still need a body lift, custom drive shafts, not sure what you will do with the T-case.

Might be better to grab an M5OD, throw it in there for now, gather parts for your ZF swap, and then once you have the ZF parts together and working sell the M5OD again.

All I need at the moment would be a adapter plate. I have a zf5 with a 1356 Borg t case. I just didn't know if anybody had found away to adapt the two together. I could probably be fine with a m5od but, I have the stuff sitting here just want to try it. I have emailed advance adapters . Do you all know of anybody else?

You realize an Advance Adapters adapter plate would cost more than an m5od?

Not to mention there are multiple ZF5 variations available. You failed to mention which version you have

Advanced Adapters used to make a kit to bolt a transmission from a small block ford to a cologne v6

somebody beat me to it

I took the transmission out of a 88 f250 with a 4.9. I do realize that the plate would cost more than a m5od. I would like to not have to worry about my tranny . My 95 F150 sas with is on it's second m5od . I had one go out and broke the shift forks in the other.
