So to start out with I am planning to do a junkyard 351 swap into a 4x4 manual ranger. Just to ease myself into this I am going to just take a bone stock 351 out of and f150 or an ecoline or whatever I find and throw that in there, but later I plan on building it out and turboing it. My question is this: what transmission should I go with, and what make/model/year vehicle has said transmission in it? I was looking at the T5 but I saw someone say that anything over stock hp/ftlb will shred that to pieces. Also, what about the transfer case? I've never really worked transmissions before, and especially not a 4x4 one. I was reading that you can get adapters to fit the T5 I think to the stock transfer case. I also have an 02 automatic 4x4 explorer sitting in my driveway with a shot transmission in it, and was wondering if that would have the correct rear axle (the 8.8).
