390 motor with 4 speed, what transmissions can I swap?
Hey guys, I was just wondering what all transmissions I could swap in place of the old 4 speed behind a 390 FE motor. It's a 69 F-100, would a ZF tranny fit? T-5? I guess I could always keep the original tranny and just do some gear swapping... I dunno yet. What are my options as far as transmissions? Any help would be appreciated. And by the way, this is just going to be a stock truck, nothing performance about it except maybe an aluminum intake and headers and stuff like that... Thank you.

Is it 2wd or 4wd? What do you want the truck to do. Do you want more performance or pulling trailers?

It is a 2 wheel drive. I do not plan on having any performance upgrades besides the basics. Intake and headers is about all I will do to this truck besides a roller cam and lifter setup. It will be used to pull some type of stock trailer in the future but for now it's just going to be my pretty thing to stare at for a while after I get the restoration going.
