The ZF is for a 4x4 and I have it listed at $1000 to kind of feel it out. Many people are showing interest in it so I expect it will stay there. It may be a little much for used but I know it works whereas in my area they are going for $750 - $800 and up for used with no knowledge of whether or not it runs.

As for your fortune with the 450. You probably handled it better than I would've. I probably would have taken a metaphorical deucer in his metaphorical sandbox. Did you tell him that even $1000 off of his price wouldn't change your application's needs? What a moron. Sorry it didn't work out man.

That does suck for you taking all the time to get there and the bonehead can't tell the difference between a automatic or stick shift.
The only other thing I was going to mention is I found out by someone who did this at work to their truck, if you put a 2wd rear end in a 4x4 you'll get vibrations due to the different offset in the leaf spring perches.
Never even crossed my mind before that they would be different except some gear ratios of course.
Hope everything works out for you though.

The 460 and thw7.3 trannys have different bolt patterns. You can see the difference at the end of this thread.https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...ml#post8808058

I've done research and it seems like its time for a rebuild on my e40d, but I want to swap it with a zf5. Mostly i want the zf5 for its reliability and the fun in driving a standard.
