    So im looking at a 1989 F150 with the 351w and automatic trans, how can i tell what trans it is?, what 5 speed trans would i need if i wanted to do a swap, and would i need to tune it to do anything more than intake, exhaust, headers, and ignition upgrades?

    Auto Trans would be an eod4, manual would be a zf5

    Would the swap be worth it or is the eod4 a strong trans?

    It's solid, as long as you don't beat on it too much. You can't really go wrong with either one

    Not planning on much power, just headers, CAI, Single 3" exhaust probably exit before the rear tire, and a hotter coil, have an accel coil in my old truck ill probably use if itll work, old trucks a 1990 bronco 2

    Personally I'd do a manual, but that's just for the cool factor
