changing my f150 from automatic to manual

mabee someone can give me an idea of the time it will take to successfully convert my 1984 f150 from an automatic transmission to a 4speed od standard.

find an '84 with a manual 4 speed od set up and it will have what you need to go from automatic to manual trans. in fact '82 to '86 should work

4 speed OD? were talking about what is commonly called the 5 speed manual, right? I don't think these came out until 1988. I could be wrong though.

i do beleive that the 4spd od (aka 5speed) did come out in the 87 modelsbut i found the info i needed and im not going to attempt the project. thanks for your help but everything im finding says it would depreciate the value. not wanting to sell but i also dont want to make it worth less.:grinno:

i've got a rebuilt aod with heavy duty clutches and bands plus shift kit and torque convertor goes with it out of an '85 e 150 van you want?

im not interested in another automatic tranny, but thanks for offering. im going to do the change over soon, first i have to go over the 351 im gonna bolt the 5 speed to. it has been sitting for 2 years and shows signs of leakage around the valve covers and oil pan.

being a new member and not quite sure of how this works, i need to determine what the engine block casting code means as to what engine that i have. D1VE 6015-A2B Any help would be appreciated!
