7.3 6 speed tranny, flywheel, and clutch with shifter
clutch linkage and pedal
tranny wiring harness (will the auto work?)
manual pcm (will my auto pcm work?)
is the single piece driveshaft the same?
does the transfer case mount the same?

you will also need a trans crossmember. and im not sure about the driveshaft but i had to redo mine but it is 2x4. i bought my clutch and flywheel and clutch hydraulics from clutchcity.com that was the cheapest i could find.

LOL, those are questions I was going to be asking you! I think the auto pcm will work, unsure of the plug connectors though... Unfortunately you are a 2x4...How much do you have tied up in it (if you don't mind me asking)?

i think i have about 2300 and you can fool the auto pcm all you have to do is take the little black box off of your auto trans and leave it plugged in and the truck will still run the same but i only did that because i was dead in the water i will replace it in a couple weeks

So it's running? Did you have to replace any sheetmetal in the floor or just cut stuff out of the way?
