Really? I yanked a worn-out NP435 out of an 84 F250 4x4 and replaced it with a built C6 without having to lift the cab. I did also lift the truck and do a straight axle swap, plus it was on 35s.
It was a small block bell C6, I don't know how much that really changes things though. I just figured the floor pan was essentially the same through 96, so the ZF would have fit. Never really had hands-on experience with the IDI engines though.
