Will tranny work?

I am restoring a 79 f100 2wd with a 300 six in it. Right now it has a 3 spd on the column. I am curious if a 5 spd transmission from a newer truck will bolt up to my 300. Will the transmission even work with my non computerized engine.

5 speeds don't care about the computer, but you have to watch what year trans you get. You want one with the cable drive in the housing, which limits you to 91 and older. The bell will work if you get one from a 300 6 or 302 or 351W. These are all hydraulic clutch trannies though, so some work would be needed to get them to work out.
