2003 4.6L & M5R4 Trans

[tcbberger]

Hi, I am planning to drop a 2002 or 2003 4.6L V8 into my 2003 explorer 4.0,5R55 Trans 4X4, but to make things even harder, I want to bolt a M5R4 manual trans, in place of the 5R55.This M5R4 trans should be a direct bolt to the transfer case, I am not worried about the many things that have to be done to drop the V8 into this engine compartment. I am just trying to find data or even a vin number for an X , post 2000 with a V8 and manual trans. This is why I am asking if anybody has any info about 2002 or 2003 4.6L with a M5R4 manual transmission behind it. Any help would be appriciated, I plan on taking a lot of pictures. Thanks

AFAIK, the 4.6 V8 only came out with the 5R55 auto trans. Manual was only offered n the 4.0 V6.
