Will my 5 speed manual bolt to and work with the old 4.0L push rod ?

 

Are you asking if the manual transmission from a 4.0L SOHC will bolt to a 4.0L OHV?

 

yes it will.....they have the same bell housing bolt pattern on the SOHC and the OHV....

 

What side of the truck on a 4.0L OHV is the starter on?

 

passanger i believe........if i remember correctly...

 

Ok, cool. I know that the 2.3 and 3.0 transmissions won't interchange with the SOHC, but for some reason I thought the 4.0 OHV transmission wouldn't either...oh well...I guess I imagined it.

 

Ford started using the 5R55E tranny in '95 hit and miss....then in '97 the 5R55E was a standard with the 4.0 and 4x4...........that is the same tranny they use today as an automatic...

 

Sorry, I was talking about manuals, not autos.

 

...and even though they have used the same manual transmission for a looooong time, they are not always compatible between the different engines.

 

the bell housing is still the same...

 

yup thats what i wanted to know.

I ask because I know somebody that had a 2.9 EFI(I think) and went to the 4.0L OHV but never changed the transmission and I guess whatever they had couldn't handle the 4.0L OHV and now they need a transmission.

 

yea it will bolt up to a OHV.......

 

good, thanks a lot
