I have a good chance at finding a decent 1st gen in my area, but I love driving a manual. I've researched a little and it seems like everyone who tries to do a manual swap in these lightning's ends up with some problem they can't seem to figure out. I was thinking if I can get my hands on a 92-96 351W 5 speed F-250, then the swap seems easy, all the parts I need are there and on paper everything should just bolt on the lightning. The only issue I can think of would be the computer, would I be able to also swap that over and have it run close to flawless or would there be some issue with that? If there's anything here I'm missing or if you can direct me to a cheap 5 speed swap that runs and drives without any problems, that would be a great help.
