Isuzu 4JG2 in Ford E-Series wagon, anyone?
Though we all agree the stock drivelines fitted to Ford E-Series vans are somewhat boat-anchors with na awful fuel consumption, it may feel uncomfortable to get rid of the automatic transmission. It's a matter of compromises, and this time the swap of an Isuzu 4JG2 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission out of an Isuzu NKR truck was found out to be the best option. For a 2009 E-150 with the 35-spline Dana 60, the 5.38 differential gear ratio might be sufficient.

The only thing that makes me feel discomfortable when I have to drive a truck with manual transmission is starting uphill drive, when I get unable to use the parking brake to assist on it.
