    well im 18 years old and have a 2001 f150 supercrew 5.4L well i have a loan on the truck but the other day the tranny went out. now it might be time to get a loan for 5 speed manual has any one done the 5.4L manual swap i got a few questions

    can the 4.6L manual trans hold up to the 5.4L?

    do i need a new tranny computer?

    what do i need to buy to do the swap? ( besides tranny clutch flywheel)

    i already know the slave cly hole is in the fire wall and i heard if u pull the carpet back in the middle console theres a hole you can punch out for the shift lever to go threw..

    is it all wroth it
