You will need to which trans u want a zf(HD F250 ) or the Mazda 5 spd. to start with . Both will require new rear driveshafts as its hard to find a manual Bronco . And the ZF was not offered .

Basic List o parts .


Trans for your motor 300-6 302 351 all same just different fly wheel
Slave cylinder/lines & pedals (whole frame work under dash)
the trans hump sheet metal
front driveshaft to match trans (they r different lenghts )
rear driveshaft to cut down (any will be cut down to fit Bronco )
Possible crossmember but I think not .
Ecu for you trucks motor with manual trans (On the e40d I have heard if put MPLS switch in neutral it will work fine with standard trans ). And some repining of wires to make it work
steering column to do it right (may get away with auto shift removal and put manual covers in.)
If auto shift xsfer case you will need one to match trans .

So find a donor truck and get busy . Can be done in couple long weekends . Good luck
